I even tried bypassing the switch and wired direct to the new MSD box (small red wire - the switched one) and still no result. (If it did fire, I realise that the wire would have to be disconnected to shut the engine off). I still get 5 flashes on the LED when I hook up the wire direct, so I know there is power going in as if it is switched.
Could it be a defective dist. cap?, dist. pick-up?
You don't want to get me started on the lack of dependability of MSD components again do you?
I don't imagine this stuff. Sounds typical to me.
Wanna' survey and see how many crash right out of the box?
Call MSD Tech support. Maybe they'll send out a field tech?
