Question re: MSD 6m-2L / blaster ss Ignition problem
How is best way to tell if the ignition box took a dump or just the coil??
While running the other day, the port motor just shut down... seconds before it happened, all gauges showed to be good; good oil, fuel pressure, temps, etc.... motor just shut down.
trying to restart it just turns over and over with no spark or fire at all... doesnt even try to sputter or cough or start.... should I throw a coil at it first or should I assume with so many of the bad reviews out there that the box went out?
Thoughts? Thanks....

Yes MSD has a diagnostics part in the manual....should be on the website if you dont have the manual. This is why I carry a known good HEI in my boat for an emergency spare.

silly question but the kill switch for that engine didn't get pulled did it?? also I would check input power and ground into the box and make sure you didn't lose a power or ground source....then if that still doesn't work I would look at the module in the distributor....you have a known good one right next to it so you could always pull that one and swap it into the "bad" one and see if that does it...that way you're not buying useless parts
