Also disconnect tach.
Change the HEI cap and rotor also, any HEI will work your just testing to see if it runs fine, if it dose you can repair or replace yours then, but that take the whole dist. out loop completely. No you don't need a msd if it ran before it'll run again (I don't need no stinking msd). Last edited by bigfoot584; 07-30-2014 at 10:06 PM. |

I would install (minimum) a 6A , Blaster coil outside the cap and away from heat, and a new pick up coil for insurance. Eliminate the trouble sources. You're only talking about maybe 300 bucks (American)
