no spark please help

It sounds to me like you've got a bad coil. After it gets a little hot it opens up & stops working. Once it cools down a little, things close up & it starts working again. Just a guess, but I had it happen to me a long time ago.

thats exactly what I though so I went and bought a new coil and it does the same thing, so now I have three new coils. what is going on. what kind of electronic ingnition bolts in and eliminates all the BS. thanks Dennis

I went with a complete MSD setup, 6a box, Pro-Billet distributor, super-blaster coil and tach adaptor to fire the Tach. I am very happy so far with the setup however, read the posts regarding the opinions of Jack and others that electronic boxes will fail and leave you stranded. The suggestion then is to carry an extra box with you. I have even seen where one guy mounted his spare box and could flip switches to change from one to the other. There have been lots of posts on this site on this subject, if you do a search with "msd" in the search field you should get quite a few hits

Good luck

Runs for 7 minutes, then shuts down! WOW! These Panteras are full of tricks! I don't have a clue that could help you Dennis. I would probably go through and test the entire distributer set-up, and wireing (sounds like you already have). Especially CHECK for GOOD GROUND at the dist. HOUSING!! Intermittent problems are the most difficult to find. As far as a replacement, I went with the Mallory Unilite distributer (with vacuum advance, saves gas on the street). It bolts right in! 3 wire hook-up. And the Tach works flawlessly as before. NO hint of trouble with it yet. Good-Luck, Marlin.

Gentlemen, thank you for all your help, I believe I found the problem, the wire from the coil to the distributor had been strtched and was broken inside maybe holding together with one strand anyway so far so good once again, THANK YOU Dennis
