Ignition system took a dump Friday night. I had to be towed home from Friday Night Thunder in Inverness Florida.
Did a bunch of testing Saturday morning. Several of my friends came over to the house. No spark. No 12V to the + side of the coil.
I had just had the Unilite out about 2 weeks ago to have a new vacuum advance installed, and have it set up on a Sun Machine. The module was dated 1990.
We could not get 12V out of the MSD box either...
Pulled the Unilite... tried it on the Sun Machine... and the module is fried. Now, we're not sure ..... YET if both the MSD box AND the Unilite module fried.
I ordered a new module. I found a MSD wiring diagram on the internet. My buddy is coming over this afternoon, and we're going to test the MSD again,
now knowing that the Unilite module is DOA.
If it's OK...I'll just put the Unilite back in with the new module. If not, I have a friend who is "gifting" me a small body HEI distributor and matching coil. I'll tear out that entire MSD box and ditch the Unilite.. and run with the HEI..
I have driven cars for 55 years... and this is/was the first time in my life that I ever broke down on the highway... and needed to be towed home...
