Hello,
I have a brand new 400 I just installed in my car and broke it in no problem. Went to fire it up yesterday and the starter was binding up so I pulled the starter installed a new one and fired the engine up no problem. It ran for 20 seconds and died. I have power at ignition, the ballast resistor, and power at the POS side of the coil. When I hold the test light on the NEG side of the coil it doesn’t blink and stays solid. The coil is a brand new MSD Blaster 2. The distributor is a brand new Proform distributor and I checked the gap on the reluctor and it was good. The Orange box was pretty hot to the touch. I am guessing it fried but it only ran 30 minutes for the break in. I knew they weren’t super reliable but this seems pretty odd. Anything I might be missing or would you just swap out Orange boxes and give it another shot?
Thanks.
