Anyone in the Detroit area have a late-model Dakota? If you pop the $75 for
the dyno runs, I'll loan you and install my MSD in your truck, which already
has a quick disconnect harness installed for testing purposes. Heck, if it
works for you, I will sell it to you for a very reasonable sum. If it
doesn't, at least you will have some fun at the dyno.
