I think another MSD box died on me. Considering points. Frustrated

The points sure will not well as well as the MSD stuff. We have ran them for years on our race cars, Cobras, Mustang builds and all. You must have something else taking them out. Sold hundreds of them and had very few problems with them. Much hotter spark and will rev much higher than out of date points.
When you find the problem you will have no more problems with them, also like the fact that you can run a rpm limiter chip.

Good luck, Keith

Good point about the alternator! I do have the best GM style alternator with out going to a bigger size. The guy at the alternator shop tested a bunch of them and gave me the best one. He was a car guy and when I showed him a picture of my Cobra, he wanted to give me the best he had.

My guage was showing that my alternator was charging at 14.5 amps if I remember right. The guage is accurate.

I hate to say this but I ordered a Pertronix distributor. It seemed like the right move for me. It is simple to wire and all I need to check is the coil to see if I need to add a ballast resistor or not. There are no points to adjust.

Under ideal conditions I'm sure the MSD out performs everything else but I have heat, vibrations and I might even have wiring issues. I'll save the MSD box and see if the factory might fix it for a small fee.

If the new Pertronix dizzy does what it is suppose to do I'll be happy. When I eventually get a high performance engine I'll give the MSD box another try.
