still running on
I have an msd distributer and a msd box, I am getting run on.. I have a one wire alternator, so I did the ballist resistor install, and I still get the run on.. what other causes can this be? I have an electric fuel pump that is turned on by toggle not ignition switch, not sure if this can be part of the problem.. I run no electric fans.

Other causes are throttle blades open too far when setting idle speed. Idling too fast. (Close throttle blades and reset idle mixture -assuming Holley).
Bad fuel or octane too low. Hot spots in the combustion chamber that could be excessive carbon build up, a sharp edge or glowing spark plug ground strap from plugs that are "too hot" in heat range. It's most likely too much throttle blade opening.

I'd like to know the outcome.
I noticed that if I turn off my engine and then turn on the ignition a couple of seconds later I get a quick ignition run on for a split second. I have BP8ES (quite cool plugs). SS Blaster, 6A and stock Bosch cap.

Agree with BlackOut - I had the exact same issue with my 66 GTO which has a 389 Tripower. The center card throttle blades were not closing enough at shutoff, subsequently allowing fuel to enter into the manifold & cause run-on. We found that the idle mixture screw ports were undersized for my application and had to be opened up to a larger size, which then allowed me to adjust the settings properly & permitted the blades to close up, which did correct the problem.
Hope this helps & good luck!
