Reply to "Pantera Won't Start but has fuel, spark, good timing etc. Baffled and need Advice"

Mike, Please remove and replace the MSD #8207 coil . I had one on my Pantera for nearly 15 years and it did an excellent job. I have installed them on numerous Panteras but recently ( over the past two years) I have had four of them crap out within the first 6 months of use. Most of them just die but on one of the cars, the car died and restarted several times until , on about the 4th time, it died and would not start. I have spoken with MSD about it and they don't seem to care and have offered no solution. For anyone running this coil, put your hand on it after a 30 minute drive and feel how hot it gets. It doesn't seem to matter where it is mounted. It runs extremely hot. Please take it off and throw it away . Even if it turns out that it is not the cause of your current issue. Or at least carry a spare with you . Ron McCall
