seems to be pretty popular, but ive never personally used one.

that's the same as the 6a, except with the limter, right?

Yep. Not bad boxes. The standard for CDI boxes, and good quality to boot.

I personally think that there are more advanced boxes out there for the money. I'm kind of wondering how Crane's boxes do.

They are easy as pie to set up, though for the 240Z, I do recommend installing a 280ZX distributor if you can find one in good shape (read: no shaft slop or vacuum advance plate binding), or at least the Pertronix electronic ignition kit.

good products but rember its not mutiple sparking over 3000 rpm....seems like kinda a waste. It will deff help get ya through the sniff tester though and a rev limiter is always a good idea. Ive had real good luck with their plug wires.

I've used msd 6al's with success in carbed/distributor motors and i've had no complaints from the Crane HI6 box/coil i put in my 93 z28. When i throw the s-trim on the z28 i'm probably going to go back to a msd 6al because the Crane box has been in there since 1999 (but still works fine to the best i can tell) and i want to be positive its got sufficient spark.

They are both good brands and are dependable, just keep them from excessive heat, vibration, and make sure you've got a good power source and ground and they last a long time. I still prefer msd though

What gk2004 said: its pretty much a good thing. BEWARE though you must mount it pretty solidly or it will die prematurely, and when it dies you cant just go down to advance and pick up a new module for $35.

Better yet, get the one potted in epoxy.
