Holley purchases MSD More consolidation of manufacturers:
http://theshopmag.com/news/holley-pe...s-acquires-msd MSD was owned by a private equity group and was purchased by another similar group. There is equity / value in those brand names, whether you are getting what those brand names originally stood for is another story. |
Re: Holley purchases MSD Good for them. Seems like just yesterday I was trying to get my hands on a replacement carburetor for my old F100 while they were filing for bankruptcy. Filed for Chapter 11 in '09, and emerged in 2010 according to wikipedia.

Re: Holley purchases MSD So Holley finally found a way to come out on top. Just buy out the competition. They now own all the aftermarket performance ignition companies such as Accel & Mallory plus MSD. Now if they can just manage those companies to make good products without going bust, they will be OK. It's been a long time since an auto manufacturer used a carburetor. The old car enthusiasts are their largest market for most of their products.

Re: Holley purchases MSD I fear the key to success is raising prices. The MSD ready-to-run that I paid $250 for in '05 is close to $500 now.

Dollars be damned....the crab dist for '32 - '48 and the SBC converted to 8ba dist are the reigning champs for street driven flatheads. They are cost effective because little guys build 'em without corporate overhead and BS. OMHO ! Points, Points, Points ! Charlie ny |
Re: Holley purchases MSD Right on, Charlie.

Re: Holley purchases MSD Most hot rods and racers are old cars now if I'm not mistaken. The newer stuff is all computer controlled so doesn't lend itself well to old technology.
