Dies after 2 miles, why?

I changed the coil out for a MSD Blaster 2, and it runs noticeably better. Smoother idle, smoother cruise, fires easier, and even idled cold, a first for my non-choked TQ.

Bad news is, it is still doing it. I took my spark plug attachment that goes between the plug and the wire, and light when spark is sent to that cylinder. It definitely is NOT getting spark. It seems like by removing the cap, jiggling the wires, etc, it makes it fire back up. So it may be the pickup or the wiring, or still could be the box, or perhaps even the ignition switch?

Yep, i would change everything if you can. MSD E curve dist are nice, yes they are over $300 but you need no box, its all built in the dist.

Or the al cheap o way would be to get a point dist and run that. You might be surprise how well a point dist with new points work and its so simple to wire up and so little can go wrong--till the points start to wear out--after thousands of miles

Now it could just be the pick up in the dist that is bad or a bad wire that opens when how
