MSD Ignition
Do you then have spark? If so you box is good. Move on to the distributor. Pay close attention to the phasing IE: the colors of the wires from the distributor to those that connect to the MSD Box. Look at them carefully. In the MSD distributor check the gap between the Blue field coil and the blades on the Reluctor, set at .025-.030. Use a business card or matchbook cover in lieu of metal blade to set this dimension. The function of the distributor is pretty fool proof.
