Setting the dwell is a pain and I will be looking up a Pertronix very soon.
In the trip to the gym and back it ran OK, but I didn't push it and on the way back at over 3200 RPMs I sensed it missing a little.

Could this be arcing in the old spark plug cables? so it that I need to replace the plugs and go to a wider gap? I was not having these issues before the new MSD and coil so I am trying to work my way through the system.

I am running the old coil since the MSD fried and I have not received the replacement yet.

Any thoughts?
Something is amiss....you should able to set the dwell well above the factor spec.

Not that you should.
