The MSD Magnetic Pickup was at fault, even though the OHMs read within the specified range.. Ill be calling MSD tomorrow to ask for a refund on the purchase of the new pickup. I changed the pickup out, removed the spark plugs and dried them off, blew out the cylinders with air, pumped a couple of shots of oil in the spark plug holes because the cylinders had been rinsed down with a ton of fuel, popped the plugs back in, realigned the cap, and vroom vroom. She's a mean machine!!! I have never seen a car rock back and forth like this one does at idle. I have a water leak at the water pump and oil is really leaking out of the drain plug and splattering out of the dipstick union, but those are small things that i can address tomorrow. I am just excited that it runs and sounds healthy.
