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

tsoloMember

So after some much needed away time from the car and 2 truckloads of firewood this morning I double checked and repositioned the dual points distributor one tooth, said a short prayer and hit the ignition button. She's alive again!!!

Dual points has served her well for 37 years so if by fixing the sheared vacuum advance screw and replacing the plugs and wires the miss is fixed I'll be content for now. I will be calling MSD tomorrow to see if they are willing to do anything for me. Maybe they will take the 8350 in part trade for a 6AL, 8477/8577 setup. On that note should the difference between the 8477 and 8577 is the vacuum advance. Which do I want considering I'm running the fuel injection?

Thanks again everyone for your help. Wish I could make to AZ. If its ever back in Reno I could bring my car up.
