Well after taking care of some honey do's I finally got a chance to look at the Cobra and the first thing I noticed was my distributor cap was completely corrodided with a green chalk. Immediately went to NAPA to get a new distributor cap (MSD cap is the same as an old style GM) but that didn't solve the problem. I borrowed Mat Twiehaus' coil and tried that but not the problem. So I am pretty convienced the MSD 6AL has gone bad. I will take the time to look up the test to see if the box is truely bad. My speed shops here didn't have a 6 AL in stock so I will probably just order one from Summit.
Just a quick question: Should your positive wire on your coil be "hot" when you turn on your key or does it not get it's charge once the car is started?
