    Did I find treasure in my shed?

    Why? Certainly not to be mean... but you are the guy who can be counted on to chime in anytime somebody mentions that they are going to 'upgrade' their ignition system, as if anything other than Ma Mopar's parts and design are the best and only choice to be considered. Remember, unlike the OEMs...

    Can this get worse ?

    Yeah, some days are like that. Time to take a break and go do something fun, or at least not involving your car for a few hours. We all have had things go wrong and they are what makes us better mechanics. For instance, I'll bet if you ever have to do that job again, the first thing you're going...

    Did I find treasure in my shed?

    Download the directions from the MSD page at Holley. That was the first Multiple Spark Discharge unit if I remember correctly. Whatever you do be mindful that the unit will knock you on your arse if you get too close to the coil or coil wire while cranking. Also, you should have a good set of...

    Check the feed wire that it didn't get compromised where it passes through the distributor housing or at the connection to the pick-up, that is, it's not turned so that it's grounding on the mounting plate.

The 90s won't work on all the cylinders...
