Msd Ignition Coil
 
Has anyone experienced a failure with MSD coil part #8207. Just looking for a reason why this happened on a coil that is about 3 years old. I had no prior warning just a no start condition. I found that the center carbon contact in the distributor cap was missing . I don't know if that led to the coil failure.

Poor electrical grounding can cause early coil failures. One of the most common source for misfires and ignition problems is the lack of proper grounding.

I had a MSD pro power coil burn a whole thru the top after 2 races. I called MSD and they said there had been some problems with them to send it back. My Local speed shop defected it for me.

Well I can say for sure all my grounds are good. I did a voltage drop test and all is good. Prior to the coil failure the car ran the number is always does. I'm thinking it's just a fluke have a coil fail. I've left a message with MSD and am waiting to hear back. Thanks
