The coil is a new MSD high vibration coil, replaced at the same time as the cap and rotor. The connections are tight. The wiring to the coil had some small cracks in the insulation, but looked good otherwise so I taped it up.

I've been tempted to try going back to a bosch CDI box by getting a rebuilt one, but that's a hefty price tag if it doesn't work out. I can't seem to find an MSD locally, I am currently in the Chicago area if anyone knows of a place...

Also, while I was doing my timing tests yesterday I had the car fail to start once, it cranked and sounded like it was going, but cut out after running for a split second. It pretty much died on the downstroke of the tach - instead of the rpms settling at idle the needle just kept going to zero.

Thanks!
