To correct a no start problem, I just replaced the magnetic pickup in my MSD distributor for the second time in less than a year. The car has only 2000 miles on it, and is now on it's 3rd pickup. When replacing the original pickup last year, there was a bit of rust on the magnets. I live in a humid area, very close to the coast. I now have a dehumidifyer in my garage. The one I just replaced was clean. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what is causing them to go bad?
