my nightmere (msd)

duster318- I'm sure it's always 12v because I have both red wires hooked to the battery.

Today I tried a differnt distributor I had laying in the garage. I hooked it up, removed a spark plug, layed it on the header and spun the distributor with my hand and watched the spark plug fire so I know that I have ignition. I have no idea what the problem could be now. Could something have happened with that gear down inside the motor. The oil pump--- dist. drive gear could it have rounded off, too much raw mopar horsepower?( I wish)
