Tim is my first name.

The dizzy is a Ford that came from the factory with the engine. I checked it the first time the car died and it wasn't the problem. I'll check it again when I get the chance. It started raining cats, dogs and then cows over in this area so I put it off until another day.

The only thing MSD on my car is the 6AL box. I might be jumping to conclusions to assume the MSD box is the problem since I haven't had a chance yet this time around to check it. It is about a week old. My mechanic mounted the box in the same position that I had it before.

My coil is mounted half way between vertical and horizontal. It is about 3 weeks old.

The plugs are new. The plug wires are about a year old.

When I tested the coil with my test light it blew out the bulb in it so I have to make a trip to the nearby city to get another one.

I'm not mad at all. Frustrated maybe but not mad. I do want to make progress in solving this problem so that it doesn't happen while I'm on a four lane interstate.

So when I get a little time, I will check the mounts for the box, check the dizzy, check the box and a few other things. I will get back to you guys.
