Actually I think I have it covered. The new distributor is suppose to be here next Tuesday. That should confirm the MSD circuit board to be defective if it runs OK with the new distributor. If it doesn't, then that's another story.Sounds similar to your problem. Eric is Eric Rhee at Westech Performance Group. 951-685-4767 WestechPerformance.com
Maybe you can contact him and pick his brain.
Not sure what I'm looking for, but it looks Ok to me, what do you think???Long story short, it turned out to be the rotor. The spark burns a path through the center of the rotor and it gets grounded out to the center post of the distributor. So spark comes into the cap from the coil, but never makes it out to the plug wires. That arc path on the rotor is nearly impossible to see.
on many of the ignitions with the plug-in chip style rev limiters you can simply remove the chip to disable the rev limit function

It fixed my problem all right, but I hate to run a cheap distributor because ofAm glad this fixed your problem. it probably run better now
Maybe it also fixed that detonation problem you were fighting.
First time i see that video above.
What distributor did you get for the test?
That makes two of us !!!Hopefully, the spark plug deposit issue also goes away.
