How do you have it hooked to the coil, is it hardwired, or are you using the MSD harness?

Did you doublecheck those connections on the MSD harness? One day my car wouldn't start either, I disconnected the MSD harness and it started up fine. Upon examining the harness, I found one of the connections between the harness and the Mallory box had come undone.

the box had power.. and all the wiring is up by the coil which i had to f with to plug the stock harness straight into the coil to get it running. i think it may have gotten wet but i would think it could handle a little moisture??
