I'm finding it very frustrating to work on the original equipment ignition system after having TWO switch boxes burn up. Does anyone know if an automotive high-performance box such as the MSD 6-A or Accel 200+ ignition control box would read the signal correctly from the magnetic trigger? I suspect that the OEM coil would fry quickly under the force of such a control box, so I would patch in the brand-matching coil as well. If the Merc trigger will not fire an aftermarket ignition box, maybe a crank trigger like the pro race cars use would do the trick?
