MSD Test - HELP!!!
How can I test to see if my new MSD is OK. Car will not start or run, even with the new freakin' MSD Pro-Billet Corvette Tach Drive distributor. What is going on?? My daliy driver is d-e-a-d dead! Any sort of test-series for the MSD ignition box?? Any help is appreciated...thanks folks! :mad

Started it once with the MSD 6A installed with the old distributor/Pertronix. Would never re-start. Assumed the Pertronix was dead, so I sprung for the distributor I wanted anyway. Now Nothing?? I did run it with the Flamethrower coil, which I have learned says "not compatible with MSD". Could this have ruined my 1 week old MSD 6A??? How do I test this???

All the MSD tests come back OK. Their "spark test", I've got spark. Magnetic trigger, just fine. But not even a sign of starting, just crank crank crank. What could be going on????? :confused: :confused: :confused:

have you switched coils yet..you said earlier the one you have isnt compatible with pertronix find a stock coil and try it.
