Reply to "No spark"

Got it figured out. The 6AL requires a minimum of 10 volts for the trigger wire, I had 10.18 volts during engaging the starter, apparently that is not good enough to satisfy the box. After pulling the distributor out and manual spinning it while hooked up to see it had spark and getting the crap shocked out of me and testing another distributor out of a Mopar the same way with both working like they should was puzzling. The car would die periodically when running the A/C and the radiator  cooling fans and would sometimes would not start after driving and letting it sit for about an hour. I hooked up a extra battery directly to the box and fired right up. I have a group 27 die hard with 750 cranking amps, it seams that should be good enough to take care of this car's electrical needs. I have become disenchanted with the 6AL box, it's so picking finicky. I don't know what the minimum voltage a ready to run MSD distributor needs but it would be less stuff to deal with. Is anybody running a old school dual point? Maybe more simple is more better.
