HELP!! Hey guys: I have pretty much the same problem. When I was driving my Cobra, it just died!! I have replaced the MSD 6 unit AND put a new MSD coil in the car. It has a 351C and yesterday my son and I tried to troubleshoot the problem. We now get spark FROM the COIL to the MSD 8580 Billet distributor, but NO spark out of it to the plugs. My son thinks we need to replace the magnetic pickup, PN 84661. He says those are always going bad in MSD distributors(??). Since I am NOT very good with electrical issues, does anyone here know IF that pickup could be the problem?? (we are also getting fuel to the carb). I hate to have to buy an entire new 8580 distributor because they are expensive. I can get the pickup for around $25.00. The 8580 that I have looks fine other than that. THANKS for the assist guys!!!
