Ok, so I installed a MSD 6A box and blaster 2 coil... yeah yeah yeah i know there are no power gains to be had, blah blah blah thats not why i did it (just so we don't waste time going through that part)
After troubleshooting it for a while with MSD on the phone and many tests and hooking it up to a 2nd battery, we found that the voltage in the battery was under 12 so the box was not staying on.
So battery charged up, and with good main + and - connections I tested it by pulling coil wire from distributor, put it 1/2" in from ground, then manually grounded the white trigger wire. When this is done the box/coil fire. So i know the box/coil works as it is wired if ground is triggered.
Now when the trigger wire is connected to the wire that was the - coil wire that the DME uses to trigger ignition, the car will not start. So that leads me to believe that the DME is not grounding that wire like it should. Any ideas where i can start looking/testing for this? Or another way to wire? Thanks for any help you guys can provide!
