			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I just recently built a completely new combo and purchased a brand new power grid and then purchased a used MSD 10 plus that was said to be in working order. I finished the car up and went to check for spark at the plugs and i have no spark. I did the white wire test and i am not getting any spark. Is there something i am possibly missing that would cause no spark? I checked power and everything is getting power. I also double checked the grid to make sure it was set up for crank trigger and the MSD 8 ignition setting.<br />
<br />
<br />
Im hoping i am just over looking something stupid... One other thing i might add is when i first wired the boxes up we turned the power to the car and ignition on and forgot to connect the plug wire to the coil and the MSD 10 plus was making some really weird whistling/buzzing noise. After i noticed the coil plug wire was off the coil we connected it and the noise went away. What is the average repair cost for one of these boxes? Please HELP! I am dying to fire this car up!!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>As you know from past threads I am running the 6010 box, now my question is, When the 2 step or the box hits rev limit, what does the box do to maintain that limit? does it restrict the timing as a retard or does it cut cyl's? If it cuts Cly's , are they specific ones or is it just random between all 8. Also can the box detect a miss fire like it does for the cam and crank sensor malfunction?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi everyone.<br />
I have two questions and would also like to share issues I have found with the Distributor cap not sealing.<br />
This MSD is  a 8353 unit that fits onto the front of a flathead engine. I have recently came across a plug cutting out during acceleration. I run a 6A box and Taylor silicone wires with Autolite plugs.<br />
After pulling the cap off the front mounted unit this is what I found.<br />
Dirt, dust and corrosion. I run this engine daily through even wet weather. Its been on the engine for 4 years.  It appears as though the cap does not seal completely. These units fit low near the road and could easily pick up road spray and dust during operation. These need to be sealed better. See picture<br />
<br />
Two questions also.<br />
Should this unit use a internally resisted coil?<br />
<br />
MSD indicates<br />
The main determining factor for gapping a spark plug is the compression ratio of the motor. Once you have determined this then you can properly gap your plugs. This chart is a good starting point:<br />
COMPRESSION.......PLUG GAP<br />
Up to 10:5:1.........0.040&quot;-0.060&quot;<br />
10.5:1 - 13.0:1.....0.032&quot;-0.040&quot;<br />
Above 13.0:1........0.025&quot;-0.032&quot; <br />
<br />
Flathead engines typically runs 7 to 1 compression.<br />
My engine calls for a max of .030 gap.<br />
MSD calls for .040 through .060.<br />
IS this correct???</div>

I have read lots of reviews and forum topics that say that MSD ignition is the best solutions for many cars, so I was wondering if MSD has a solution for my modest engine....<br />
To be more precise, im interested in a spark plug wire high performance set ( already sent an e-mail to one of your dealers) and also a high performance coil for my engine....Any information or opinion is most welcomed !</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi Pat,<br />
I have a turbo honda 1.6L D16 , i have used the msd sci box and blaster SS coil, msd cap and rotor, since i built this car and have no problems until recently. I run 14psi on the street on pump gas and 20-25 psi at the track on c112. The car has gone 11.80@120s with no problems. <br />
I use a r5671-8 NGK plug, and i have always ran the stock gap on them its usually around .030. The past year or so i have had some spark blow out. I would gap the plugs down to .022 and it would be fine for a couple months then fall on its face in boost @ 10-14psi. I wpuld put a new set of plugs in gapped to .022 and everything would be fine again for a month then the problem would return. <br />
As of lately, even plugs gapped lower than .020 wont do shit and the car runs great till it gets into boost and then it feels like someone shut the key off and slammed on the brakes its blowing the spark out so bad. <br />
<br />
I pulled the cap off and everything looked fine , just the usual green fuzzys. I am maybe thinking the coil or box is getting weak? Like i said i used to run this car with stock plug gaps no problems And it seems to be getting weaker and weaker <br />
<br />
What suggestions do you have or what tests can i do to diagnose?<br />
<br />
Thanks for your time,<br />
Mark</div>

My problem is I mounted the Pro Mag amp box in the front of the car close to the coil and Mag but the Power Grid is mounted inside the car on the firewall.  The Legacy wire is too short to reach by about 2 feet.  Do you offer an extension wire or ??? Here is a picture showing where the Mag box and coil is mounted. The Power Grid box is on the passenger side just like those items but on the other side of the firewall.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Installed a new power grid 7730/7720 combo with a new HVC ll coil. We got the car running tonight and intermittently the car pops out the exhaust and blows fire out the carb. Sometimes while trying to start all it does is backfire and pop and other times it fires right up and runs great. <br />
<br />
Some observations: With the car running no more than a minute the coil wire was fire hot, couldn't touch it more than a second without burning your hand. Called MSD tech and they asked about grounds. I had a 1/0 ground ran from battery to cylinder head but not from one head to the other. So we did that and also grounded the coil to the head. Tech also suggested ohming out spark plug wires. They checked fine according to their recommendation of 40-50 ohms per foot. We started the car after changes and it ran as good as it ever had. Shut the car down and tried to restart it was popping and backfiring again. <br />
<br />
I'm at a loss as to what's wrong. It may not be a grid or ignition issue but the car ran fine last season with the 7AL and blaster. <br />
<br />
Combo is a 557 BBF, 14.8:1 CR, 1150 alky carb, 900HP. <br />
<br />
Thanks!!!</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>A friend and me recently installed an MSD ignition system in my 1964 Corvette.  It works fine, however, when the car is not running, the capacitor box is still drawing current from the battery, which, over a week or less, drains the battery, (after a lot of trouble shooting we disconnect the hot wire from the starter to the red box and the battery drain stopped), Shouldn't it stop drawing power when the ignition key is turned off?<br />
<br />
Background;<br />
<br />
we havealso installed a complete new wiring harness in the car.  The Harness is of the old design. The MSD system has replaced the original points type distributor ignition system.  <br />
<br />
What have we missed?<br />
