The pickup coil still isn't in so the Cobra is quietly sitting in the garage but this has at least given me lots of time to get my 66 Mustang finished.
As far as I know, I do not have any resistor. I did not install one and the only possibility would be if there was one somewhere in the wiring harness which I really doubt.
I am hoping that it is the pickup coil as the 6AL box is the only other possibility and it is much more expensive.
Paul, my MSD Blaster 2 coil is mounted vertically. I tried another coil (Ordinanary Ford coil) and the problem was the same, maybe even a bit worse. I think that I have narrowed the problem down to the pickup coil or the 6AL box.
