what are you symtoms, I to think i have a weak coil, but not sure. 622ci natural asp. w/11.1 pistons, seams to just hit a road block at a certain load range, doesn't matter what prop i put on.

His plugs don't seem to fire as hot in that engine when starting. So sometimes makes for a hard start.


If you change the plugs the engine fires on less than a half revolution. Or if the plugs get cleaned up after a nice run it fires real well too.

Go with another Msd coil. It's a cheap fix. I wouldn't overlook the wiring or anything. How's the starter ? Maybe index the distributor by scribing lines from it and on the manifold. Back off the timing to make it start easier and then move the distributor.
