MSD Disappointment ??

Check the box and make sure it's ok. And then never ever pull a plug wire off the plug with the engine running again.

This is not a points ignition and it's damn hard on the electronics to do what you did. There are better ways (although slower) to find a dead hole that won't hurt the ignition.

Also, you should have been able to recurve the distributor to make it start correctly.

You don't have anywhere near enough CR or anything else to require a start retard or anything trick.

I did Re-curve the dizzy as best to my abilities when running the motor runs awesome. The motor has always had this hard cranking issue. I used a 440 source starter. I read from another member that he had the same issues until he switched from the 440 source starter. I will do this 1st thing in the spring as I can't even start it now. If this doesn't work I will have to check engine as something may be getting to tight when warm but where it won't crank over I'm hoping it's a starter issue. I just want a stock Mini starter. What Model year starter is the bigger one? 1998 Durango ?
