    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Got a MSD MC-2 and was wondering which is the better the MC-1, MC-2,or the MC-3??? I got a 1 and 2, and have yet to use either one......
 
Go with the MC2, It's got everthing you want; high and low rpm's that's great for launching, tack source, air kill too. I think it's the best bang for the buck. The only con is the size. I got mine mounted upside down and supported above the battery with fuel hose for almost 2 years now.
 
I still have an old 2 on my bike. Works fine. Agree that the big difference is the 2 rev limiters built in versus needing the external boxes on the MC1. It weighs a lot compared to the Dyna SP4000 and takes up a lot of space. Requires a gound for kill, so keep this in mind if you put an auto on it.
 
Good question. I don't know, but am guessing that you need the MSD coils. I would write MSD.
 
Below is from their instruction; As for me, I'm still using the stock coils. The Dyna coils will work great too.

Coils: The MSD MC-2 will work with factory and most aftermarket coils. Better spark energy
is received at the plug if lower resistance coils are used (1.5 ohm). However for maximum
ignition output, an MSD Motorcycle Coil, PN 8204 is recommended. The MSD coil is
designed specifically for use with the MC-2 Ignition. It has less resistance and a high turns
ratio to match the full capability of the MC-2.
WARNING: Do not touch or connect any test equipment, accessories, etc. to the coil
terminals.
Spark Plugs: The increased spark energy of the MC-2 allows you to run a wider spark
plug gap (.045"-.060"). The result is more predictable ignition and improved performance.
