I have fought similar demons with my MSD Dist and finally I had my cCobra at Keith Crafts shop in Texas a couple of weekends ago. They found that the pickup was actually set by the factory with too much of a gap. Rob the tech removed my dist and loosened the two bolts that hold the pickup in place and moved it over closer to the rotor. Re-installed my dist and whalla Engine starts first time all the time, even when it is hot . I also replaced everything electrical under the hood just to find out that the coil, Dist cap, ignition box solved my problem.

Lessons learned sure get expensive.
