Reply to "Need help with ignition setup and Bad MSD 8350"

I'm old enough and wise enough to know when something is just not meant to be. Me winning the lottery, that cute little red-head I met online, or 6512 having this MSD 8350 distributor. I'm also smart enough to know when I've been beat and am not too proud to admit it.

I tried the direct wire from the battery with limited success. The car did fire and attempt to run but ultimatly it did not work just like before. There is clearly something wrong between the disrtibutor not sparking right and the computer not sensing the spark. The sheet I received from MSD stated that they replaced a circuit board in it but did they actually or did they miss something else wrong with it? Regardless this distributor will never go back in my car. It's been apart for 6 weeks and I've waisted 3 weekends screwing with this distributor.

I reinstalled the dual points distributor but couldn't get the car to fire I believe due to the battery being weak. I'll try again tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for your ideas. Some things just can't be fixed.
