MSD isn't the game in town, especially since they just filed Chapter 11.
Try Mallory etc., lots of good stuff from other manufacturers.

Yes they are. A few would be Accel 380876, 140019, 140009. Mallory 30440, 30441, 30625, 30626, plus they have a new one that looks a bit like the squat MSD one. I'll try to get that for you as well.

Greg I agree, it's sad to see just about any company fall on hard times. But it seems lately they've relied on just that, their name, and not much else. Their quality isn't what it used to be, period. That coupled with more, better competition has obviously had a negative effect on them. Maybe this will be a wake up call and someone can help them move forward from here.

Thanks

This is a CHAPTER 11 filing - in other words - a REORG - to shed the company of debt (idiots).... and prep for a sale of the assets.


MSD is a huge name in the automotive world... and that name is worth something to someone... not to mention their product offerings.


It's sad that good names like this get hammered by CEO's, CFO's and Boards -- that can't seem to just stick to business, do some basic math... as in -- you can't be that far in debt and make it.
