The dizzy is ready so I can refit it in Saturday, I have an MSD

In another car so I can test this also.

I only ask as I had a good mate of mine take one of my 1975 P5 Ltd's to a car show some years ago now and he left the ignition on all day and killed the Coil - it was red hot when I got there; needless to say I had to trailer it home....
Just make sure you see a good spark - with an MSD you should see lightening bolts.
