Well........ It's running!!!!! When I was checking the spark at the plug it was kind of orange. So in a last hoora I wired up an spareMSD coil for my race car and what do ya know, Varumm!! The thing isI just replaced that thing about 8000 miles ago when I tuned it up! I've never seen one die like it did while driving down the road and still work! Thanks for all your help sir!!!! Marc

An orange spark is a weak spark. A good strong spark is blue. What he meant by hoora is he was cheering over the fact that the ignition coil was the problem and that he fixed it it. The MSD ignition coil he used gets wired the same way as the OEM one, positive to positive, negative to negative, and then of course the center wire from the distributor plugs in.
