Dear Listers, interesting to read that about the MSD boxes.=20

I heard in the past MSD has a very high failure rate (up to 50%).=20

So those troubles do confirm the reliability issues of MSD=20

So I never bought or installed one but went for the Crane boxes, which are =
just great and run like a clock all the time.=20

Cheers!=20

=C2=A0=20

We had the exact same problem on one of our spits without MSD in Colorado. =
=E2=80=9C When I pull either #1 or #4 plug wire she runs fine, dips down a =
bit in RPM, but if I pull #2 or #3 she almost dies=E2=80=9D=20

We didn=E2=80=99t move the timing light sensor wire around though.=20

We have another spitfire that did one of the most bizarre things I=E2=80=99=
ve ever seen. We were trying to sort out another ignition miss problem and =
decided it wasn=E2=80=99t going to get fixed at that moment.=20

Dan, the owner decided to put it back in his pit, put the hood down and fir=
ed it up. It seemed to run a bit worse than when we started so the hood cam=
e back up while it was running.=20

The distributor cap didn=E2=80=99t get put back on and it was running! The =
cap wasn=E2=80=99t even close to the distributor, it was almost a foot away=
 and you could see the arc dancing all over the inside of the cap. If someo=
ne had told me that story and I hadn=E2=80=99t seen it for myself I would h=
ave called BS.=20

All I can say is that was one hot coil, how it fired in any kind of order t=
hat would allow it to run is still beyond my understanding.=20

As far as why a car will still seem to run unaffected by pulling #=E2=80=99=
s 1 or 4 is still a puzzle to me.=20

Some people actually have success with an adjustable timing light on and MS=
D equipped car ( if that=E2=80=99s what your using ) I never did. MSD say=
=E2=80=99s no. I had to go back to=20

a fixed timing light because the timing was all over the place, hence the d=
ual spark up to 3K rpm.=20

Even with the fixed timing light I had trouble timing the car at the Kastne=
r Cup at Road America. The MSD unit completely failed the next weekend out.=
 Now I keep a spare in the box.=20

The point I=E2=80=99m getting at is in this case it might not be the MSD bo=
x since we had the same problem with a non-MSD car.=20

I've seen that exact issue on a very fast TR4. =C2=A0Drove us nuts until we=

This Spitfire that was =E2=80=9Cpawned=E2=80=9D off on me has a MSD Digital=

When I pull either #1 or #4 plug wire she runs fine, dips down a bit in RPM=

=C2=A0=20


I put my timing gun on #1 wire, she fires at 15 =C2=B0 BTDC and same if I p=

on the #4 wire.=20


=C2=A0=20


When I put the sensor on either #2 or #3 wire, it shows it firing all over =

and then goes crazy again, settles down.=C2=A0=20


=C2=A0=20


Not sure if this is the MSD box or not but I thought I might get some answe=

I did find that the rotor cap was dragging on the Pertronix Ignitor module =
inside the distributor. I swapped out rotor caps but still no luck.=20
