I dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Anders Briar thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
You really should Mount that coil vertically as they are oil filled and laying them down on the side like that will cause them to overheat and fail prematurely. They describe that in the instruction manual
This video tested nothing towards the 6A. This specifically tested for ignition spark only. Your problem was with your connecting wires on your coil which grounded out
this is how MSD states how to test a box. I just made a video to make it easier for people to understand. If you have another way to test it perhaps you could let the engineers at MSD know.
Wow great video the problem that I have that my car starts up once it warms up it turns off so I'm trying to figure maybe is the MSD box as bad let me know right back to me please
I had that problem too. They seem to maybe be heat sensitive. If you could mount it in the passenger compartment or a cooler location would be best. Mine was on the top fenderwell under hood of my truck. It got really hot. Once it quit so I yanked it and just went regular electronic ign. I tested the box a couple years later and seemed to work. I had the bypass standoffs on the coil to go back to regular ign. Once I put the jumpers on it fired right up.
You 'normally' take it off of the original '+' feed to the coil. If you have a ballast or resistor wire you can bypass it but they say it should work down to 9v.
COULD YOU HAVE WIRED YOUR BOX TO A POWER SUPPLY THAT BECOMES HOT WHEN YOU TURN ON YOUR KEY ? WHEN IT REQUIRES TO BE WIRED DIRECTLY TO THE BATTERY FOR A CONSTANT 12 VOLTS AS IT SHOWS ON THE BACK OF THE BOX ? IM NO EXPERT , BUT IF I HAD TO GUESS I WOULD SAY YOU HAVE INSTALLED YOUR SYSTEM WRONG ... JUST SAYN' , I WOULDNT WANT SOMEONE TO ''KEY ON'' A ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP AND START ARCING AROUND UNDER A HOOD . WELL , GOOD LUCK AND BE SAFE
I need some help. I have a 69 GTX that is switched over to all MSD. I'm running a 6201 6 A box. I went to load my GTX on hauler and it wouldn't start. My box is getting power into it but no power out to the coil. I live in Southern California and would like to know if anyone out there knows a place that does MSD box repair in my area. Area code 91761 Ontario Calif. We are moving and don't have a forwarding address so sending it to MSD won't work.
He had the one wire on the coil grounding out to the coil wire tower, simply moved it away & it fixed it. He was bitching at MSD for a problem he caused with his own install.

@Anders Briar it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
As soon as you open the hood the problem is obvious, look at the state of the wiring.
One of the coil wires was too close to the tower. Move wire away from tower, problem fixed! No more grounding.

So if I'm not getting spark from the coil wire but I touch the screwdriver and it shocks me a little does that mean my coil is good and my MSD is bad?
not sure never been shocked by it
Obviously neither the MSD 6a box or distributor was not the problem.

So if the msd box has power and the light comes on but you have no power going to the coil. Would that indicate the msd is bad?
I have a 74 f100 where did you tie in your 12v switched wire off the 6al box?

my box receives its power from the battery but the ignition switch allows the power to power the box. Had it wired this way for 13 years.
I like your Brittany dog too.

Open the box. If you see the board encased in epoxy, throw it away. You can't repair it. If it doesn't have it, any shop can repair it
What was the fix?
He had the one wire on the coil grounding out to the coil wire tower, simply moved it away & it fixed it.

I think the woring is fucked by the looks of things.
