MSD: My Spark Disappeared
Getting ready for homecoming, so I unwrapped the Cobra. Because I had a possible timing issue at the end of last season, I grabbed the timing light and attempted to fire it up. Hard start indicated trouble. Fired up and checked the timing, which was off. Moving the distributor had no effect. It's an MSD 85805 by the way. Pulled the dizzy to find the internals very rusted up and the advance mechanism rusted solid - nonfunctional. I ordered a brand new crappy MSD dizzy, because I don't want to get stuck in BFE on the way to Alabama. So, if you're running an MSD dizzy and you drive in the rain or live where there is any humidity at all, you probably have the same problem lurking under your hood. I fixed the rusted dizzy just to see if I could do it. I did. I wouldn't trust it for road use though. Just fixed it as a challenge. See you all at the Homecoming.
