hi all, what is an ideal settup? im running a 440 ci in my 67 barracuda,street use only,4 speed manual, holley 750 <vac sec> purple cam,running converted dizzy <contactles>and mopar orange box/ballasts/accel coil. starts great,runs ok but doesnt feel like a 440<was a 318 until i swapped> car will cut out,no spark,then after much swearing etc fire back up! pal has given me a pro comp msd6al copy and matching coil,both new in box,worth giving them a go?:read2:

check all your connections., including the bulkhead. could be the ecu the could or even the pick up in the dist. the stuff your friend gave you is worth a try if it was cheap or free. what do ya have to lose?

You might also want to consider a different coil.

Orange boxes are lo-po only good for 5500,they burn up easily when spun faster.Go with a chrome Mopar box

I burndt up two with my 340,never a problem with the chrome box

i have the procomp, so easy to install and wire up. just get an aftermarket coil. i have a blaster 2.
