Default MSD Problems Still

I went ahead and re-located my box from under my seat to under the hood.

(took about 3 hours)

Due to the morons jew rigging the hell out of it in the first place.


But, it didn't change a thing, only made the problem worse I think, it's doing it allot more then it was before.

The MSD box still makes a loud noise, and MSD tech said it's normall, but I still don't think it is.

And it is a 6AL.

I'm thinking I need to swap it, but I don't feel like waisting another $250.

Still doesn't solve my problem of mass bull****.

There's nothing else that can be causing the problem this dramtically besides electrical, and the MSD is the only electrical in the car basically.

If the tech said it's all good then it's probably all good but when in doubt....
What dizzy are you running? What coil? You're running stranded wires right?
There's also a diagnostic you can perform on the box to test it. It should say how with the instructions that came in the box of the 6AL.
