Can someone do a test for me that has an MSD box in there car. I noticed when working on my distributor that when the coil doesnt have a coil wire in it, and I turn on the ignition when I goto turn it off a spark jumps from inside the coil tower all the way around and grounds to the negitive side of the coil. Is this normal? I tried different coils they all do the same thing

Can someone with MSD unplug there coil wire and turn there ignition on and off and see if a spark jumps?
Yes - it's normal... That coil wants to discharge when the field breaks down - it's finding it's way to ground...

If you suspect a problem with the rev-limiter, pull the chip out of it altogether and try it again. Chip OUT means there is no rev limiter in the circuit.
