Default Not going to make the cruise

Last Sunday, I took the Daytona out for a ride to check everything out before leaving for Harrison today. We got about 30 miles from home and the engine just quit. Luckily, I could pull over into an abandon church driveway to get off Highway 16. A couple pulled over to help and took me back to the house to get the Tundra and trailer. After a nervous time to get truck, trailer and ramps off the highway, I loaded the Daytona and took it home. I did some preliminary trouble shooting and I was not getting and voltage to the coil.

I called Roush Monday (I have the Roush 8 stack injection and their Fast XFI ECU system). Tuesday, via telecom, it was decided that the MSD distributor was the problem. I was still thinking I could still make the trip, but the distributor has not shipped as of this morning.

I read that someone has already paid for the BBQ and I would be willing to "Pay Pal" them the money for the two of us.

I am really disappointed but such is life in the world of owner built cars. Have a great cruise.
