    Does anyone know for sure?? It's too late to call them and we're goign racing tomorrow.

    So has anyone ever used these INTERCHANGEABLY - my buddy has some MSD chips and I have an AUTOMETER shift light I'd like to try them in. I don't have a tach so I can't watch it to make sure they work at the right RPM.

    The chips are only resistors with certain ohms. If the resistance is the same then they are interchangeable. I have made adjustable chips out of potentiometers. Here's the MSD ohms per rpm
    RPM RESISTANCE

    8900 8144.4
    8800 7999.6

    Thanks for the detailed response!!! I understand the resistance part - I was wondering if they use the same scale -for example: is a 6000 rpm chip the same resistance from BOTH manufacturers.
