95 fever 525sc no spark
 
Here it is... Had a issue with the pressure switch to the fuel pump relay since fixing that problem I have no spark... Have a 6M-2L msd with a blaster coil... Changed the ignition box and the mag pick up in the distributor. Checked the coil and it tested good... I'm out of ideas... Is there a breaker I'm missing????? Any ideas??

Does it still have the merc rev limiter? Had problems with 2 of them on mine.

Behind the tb module is there a box wired into the ignition?

I believe I bypassed all the old ignition... The msd has a red and black to the battery... Purple and green to distributor red is ignition hot and grey is tach orange to coil +

Are you still running a thunderbolt distributor? The advance in a tb ignition is all in the module. List all the components of your ignition system and we can help a bit better.

MSD blaster coil
Just put a new mag in the distributor

The msd must get it's pulse signal from the output of the tb4 amp in order to maintain the timing curve. Did you connect the white msd wire to the grey coil wire? If you did and you have already changed the tb4 amp, then I would check the rev limiter under the amp. I had 3 fail on 3 engines within a month. Also check the condition of the connectors on the amp plug. The bottom one can turn green. If it is the rev limiter, cut out the harness and re connect without the limiter since you already have one in the msd.

According to that and your previous post listing what wires you hooked up to the distributor it is wired completely wrong.
2 options here, replace the tb dist with an msd unit with mechanical advance or install the tb iv module, the gray wire from the module to the white wire on the msd, orange and black wires from the msd to the coil, violet and green left disconnected, white with red tracer and white with green from tb module to the dist, purple wire from engine harness that went to the coil now goes to the red key on wire on the msd, and the gray tach wire for to the msd.

Thx for the input... Summit racing and msd both told me I could hook the distributor direct.... They were obviously wrong. Hooked it like u said which is how my old box was wired and I have spark..
