I started having problems with my Malory MSD distributor 6 weeks ago. One morning I went to start and the car, it just cranked, would not start. I found no fire to the distributor. Had it tested to find it was bad and bought a remanufactured MSD, stuck it in and could not get the car running. It would try to start but just misfire, backfire and would not stay running long enough to adjust the timing. I have tried to advance the distributor one tooth forward and then back to no avail. Finally, I stuck the brand new points distributor that has never been fired from my project vert and she fired right up. Drove it for a day or two and tried to put the MSD distributor back in with the same negative results. Tried another rebuilt MSD with the same results.
This is on my 1970 green standard w/ 351 C. I have 12V going from my starter switch to the cylinoid. 12V going from cylinoid to the positive on coil, a brand new stage 3 coil, and 12V going into and out of distributor. All of my grounds have been redone and cleaned.
She runs fine with the points distributor but won't even start with the new MSD.
Any suggestions? I have to leave in a few minutes but am looking forward to what you have to say. Sal
