I recently had my 427 side oiler tuned up, new wires, plugs and points. I was running a dual point accel set up. After lots of backfire and the points vibrating out of tolerance, i had my mechanic install the MSD 6AL, blaster coil and billet distributor. Not sure about the pick up or crank trigger etc, but the white wire is not being used from the control box. By the way, the first control box that the mechanic received was DOA. The second one was fine and he sent me on my way.
It drove fine for about 30 miles, and i put it away and didn't drive her again until the following weekend, car starts up, my wife and I went out and when we stopped along the way, the car wouldn't restart. I checked for spark and disconnected the center wire on the cap and cranked her but got no arc. Went to the local ATV and purchased another 6AL control box. Installed her, vrooom, car starts, runs strong etc. After testing to see that it would start and restart, I was comfortable. Next morning, nothing, no spark, plenty of crank but no spark.
Car charges fine with constant 13.8 volts from the system, why is this box failing, and how do i now unload 2 dead control boxes, ATV said they don't take these back right up front, now i have 500 worth of useless control boxes and no solution in sight, my wife is ready to send this car off a cliff with me in it, please help!!
