My friend and I did a fuel pressure test, turned out fine, and did a spark test, no spark going to the coil, I purchased an MSD coil a few months ago so i know the coil is good, however Im real leary about this means that i have had two different coils in the car on break-downs, the MSD and the orginial, so im assuming it is a bad connection somewhere. Hoping to have anwsers later on tonight.

just wanted to touch back base, put the msd coil in, car did fire right up, i havent drove it yet for fear of breaking down in the middle of the night, but hopefully that fixes my problem. im ordering a cap and rotor also to be on the safe side of things.

If your serious about doing your own repairs, you need the BOOK.
