Nobody likes failures, but boy its nice to be able to fix them them on the side of the road with a screwdriver and maybe $20 in spare parts, small enough to go in the glove box.
You can carry a spare MSD box too, but the cost is a bit higher.

The typical MSD Box (with the cover on the outside and the wires flopping around inside (along with many potential
failures from vibration) is the typical unit that fails occasionally. More so in race vehicles which is why MSD offered a
"switch" that allowed a race car to switch from the Race Box to the Back-up Box with a flip of a switch.
So then every race vehicle had to carry TWO MSD Boxes in their race cars.
My POTTED (epoxy filled) SVO Ford MSD Box, (FORD had them made for the Ford Race Teams for a reason), has never failed me in 40+ years.
I will stick with the (epoxy filled) SVO Ford MSD Box vs the HEI.
