Default MSD Info

I was told by MSD tech these 3 key things

1. Run the ignition signal to the distributor away from all other wiring.
2. Run + & - from MSD box direct to battery
3. If the engine runs at all it is not the MSD box. They claim that if anything in the box fails the whole box fails.

Hey Mr bus driver. I have been asking for more than a week prior if anyone wanted maps and or take over the trip. Looks to me more like the trip was getting close which shook out a request for the maps.

I hear it already..."well if our sponsor had not bailed on us this would not have been a concern".

Most of the group went up today. I will go up tomorrow AM and meet them at the resort. So all is well, thanks.

Rich did look into the dist. cap and found moisture and corrosion. He cleaned and dried it and will give it a go the last I have heard. Similar to my problem, but will look into it with Rich tomorrow.

Sorry you cannot make it.

Regarding this distributor issue, try putting a layer of di-electric grease around the entire edge of the distributor cap to seal and minimize the airflow, thus preventing additional moisture from getting inside the cap area at all. The MSD std. vent will allow ventilation inside the cap without a large flow of outside air...and moisture being trapped inside...air circulation is produced by the protruding veins on the rotor itself....no additional holes required.
