Will do, not sure what "timed port/direct port" means but I'll do a little research.
You guys may be on to something. I verified the MSD wiring several times but I did find that silicone inside the (used) MSD Dist.. I'm wondering now if it wasn't holding something that was put in backwards or covering wiring that was crossed.
Also, when I hooked up the Mopar distributor, I had to use alligator clips to connect to the MSD. It was dark and I can't say for sure they weren't reversed.
Going now to get the points Dist. this morning.
Thanks!
