Top End Miss

ok for giggles opened it up to .025... it wouldn't start... then .020 and it wouldn't... so it looks like .016 is it...

That doesn't seem right to me since you are using an MSD box.
From what I understand the Mopar pickup is basically the same as the MSD pickup and MSD recommends a setting of .018" to .030"

That being said those pickups have a permanent magnet and over time that magnet can lose some of it's strength which will result in a weaker trigger signal.
