[Mahler9th]

Several of us had high displacement, single plug engines for racing here in Norcal.

These used some variations of 911 sc-style distributors employing the little green wire, and all used MSD ignitions and coils.

Several of us eventually had distributor failures. Mine happened entering turn 6 at Sears Point during a race.

In my case, I removed the distributor and took it to JWE, where Jerry confirmed a failure and rectified it.

It can happen.

In some cases, the symptoms were related to heat.

Used to carry a spare green wire or two. These were Porsche parts.

Never needed to use one.
