8. How do I fix:
. A high rpm miss when the engine is under load?
. An rpm limiter that seems to activate at the wrong rpm?
. Erratic operation of electronic devices/ECUs?
. A tachometer needle that seems to "bounce"?

All of the above can be caused by Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI)
generated by the ignition system. Specifically
through the coil and spark plug wires. The ignition system is a miniature
power station and the spark plug wires
are its transmission lines. The wires (in particular, "solid core" wires)
can broadcast EMI that seeps into electronics
and causes erratic behavior.
To combat EMI you need to run a set of helically wound spark plug wires such
as MSD's Heli-Core or 8.5mm Super
Conductor Wires. Having the conductor wound around a special center core
produces a "choke" that holds EMI
inside the wire. Solid core wires on the other hand, have no suppression
capabilities and should not be used with an
MSD Ignition. MSD's Super Conductor Wires have extremely low resistance
(less than 50 ohms per foot), yet are
designed to suppress EMI like a high resistance wire.

Can anyone out there help me with an MSD ignition problem?
