I just installed an MSD 6A on my truck and first off let me say, the difference in the way my truck runs and drives is unbelieveable! But now I have an annoying engine noise in my system. I tried grounging the MSD in different spots but no luck. Is there some otherway to fix it without resorting to a filter? Haven't tried one yet,,,now or ever for that matter. I would rather eliminate the noise instead of adding something else to fix it.

What do I always say about EQL/EQX/EQQ eqs? They make noise. Well, they don't MAKE noise but they damn well don't reject it worth a crap either.
Whenever I have had an AC EQ in a system with noise the only way I have found to be rid of the noise is to get rid of the EQ. Kinda bites.

I have found in past that high energy ignitions put out a lot of radiated noise, and it's usually proximity. I would try using some long rca's and run the eq outside and away from the vehicle to see if the noise decreases.
I somehow thought it would be more exciting putting my hands into a bucket of lesbians, but it was not...
