Got a hold of a known good coil and a module to test tonight. Also I have an MSD ignition box in the car so I called them and they walked me thru on how to test their box to see if that is the problem. Hopefully I will have the answer tonight as to what the problem is.

 

It was the MSD ignition box that was causing the problem. I tried another coil, another module, no luck. I unburied the MSD and played with the wiring and it revealed the problem. I then took the MSD out of the loop and it starts and stays running just fine.

 

cool got the ride back on the road. good deal.

 

Yes, but the stock ignition sucks compared to what I was used to with the MSD. The unit is over $300.00, so I am calling MSD to see how much it would be to repair. Also need to add a blaster coil.
