What coil were you running? Both my setups run Jacob's Ultra Coil. The .072"
gap on my 'Stang is with a safety margin, I have ran it as high as .077",
but since it was daily driven in all kinds of conditions, I backed off to
.072", from a factory .054". The Belvedere is running .055" right now, I
haven't experimented to much with it, I think with the low compression heads
that may be a little steep. Did you contact Jacob's with your issue? Maybe
you have a bad box. My Mustang unit is at least 5yrs old, with ~100kmiles
since install. The Belvedere has only had it's box for a couple months.

I have the Jacobs EnergyTeam ignition (no, I don't like it) and it was
giving me some major problems when I opened the plug gap (from 0.035" to
0.045"). Not only would the engine miss at higher speeds (60+ mph), but
sometimes the engine would barely start, then idle at 300rpm and die. After
putting the plugs back to stock gap, no more problems. Never did figure
that one out..... but I will stick with MSD after this.
