Ignition / Electrical Gremlins

[cycleguy55]

Thanks for the ideas / comments / suggestions.

I'll start with some basic sleuthing (E.g. do I have power to the MSD box, is the ignition switch the cause of that, etc.), then go on to coil voltage, etc. Obviously I can't check running voltage until such time as I can actually get it running, but definitely something to do when I get there.

Question (which perhaps is due a thread all on its own): If the MSD 6A is blown, do I replace it with another, or switch out the MSD distributor as well and go to an all-in-one Pertronix distributor? If the latter, I'm leaning toward the Ignitor II version, FWIW - just due to the ability to use regular coils. Or I guess I could go Ignitor III and carry a spare coil.

Thoughts?
