Good luck with that one.

OP is lucky they even repaired the distributor since it was modified (composite gear added). Every product that comes with a limited warranty excludes consequential damages and covers only the product purchased. That's why it is called a limited warranty.

Here are the terms of MSD's stated warranty:

"MSD, LLC warrants MSD products to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and if properly installed for a period of one year from date of purchase. If found to be defective as mentioned above, it will be replaced or repaired if returned prepaid along with proof of date of purchase. This shall constitute the sole remedy of the purchaser and the sole liability of MSD, LLC to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing is exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties or representations whether expressed or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness. In no event shall MSD, LLC be liable for special or consequential damages. This warranty is only valid on products purchased from MSD Authorized Dealers."

It's already been stated MSD took care of the distributor. Paul and Jeff have a little more pull than the typical consumer since they build some of the best South West Tour series engines out here, and use MSD products exclusively. That's part of the advantage of having a reputable engine shop build an engine for you. If it were Joe blow calling MSD about the issue, they'd tell ya tough luck.

It was a distributor issue plain and simple. Not a builders issue. Best to just roll with the punches, follow Paul and Jeff's advice, button the thing up and enjoy it.

My point was that if he wants to bitch about it he should be bitching about the parts he got from MSD, not the builder.

mgarblik,

I think Paul would agree that I have been appreciative and understanding. I've never posted one negative thing on this forum. It's been a long, bumpy road to get to this point with a lot of up and downs. We just need to get through this so I can enjoy this motor and Paul and Jeff can get that motor out of the shop so they don't have to deal with it anymore.

I have no reason to doubt anything you say concerning your last post. I have been following this from the beginning and look forward to a happy end to the saga. Good luck with your car and engine. Summer is coming. Get some enjoyment out of it.
