Engine
I would re-check the tining on the engine when I got things hooked back up. I would check to see if there is anything else that is burnt. The box will have some setting in that might need to be checked and set. There are a lot of options with it that you will not use and some that you might want to use.
Thanks, Keith Craft

All other items seem to work well with the box out, fuel pumps, fan, lights and starter all perform well. The box is a MSD Digital-7 programmable #7530. I’ve ordered a new one, #7530T that appears to be a direct replacement. Can you offer any advice on what if anything I should do when I install the new ignition box? Will this need to be programmed before installation?
