Re: Any more help on my MSD problem?

I missed the beginning of this, but if you have a misfire
you might want to take a peek under the hood at night,
with the motor running. You will be able to see if there
are any bad sparkplug wires. HTH

<< OK, here's what I've done. I'm at a total loss at
 this point. I removed the Accel coil from the loop
 and went back to the stock coil. No change. I
 bypassed the MSD box (courtesy of the universal wiring
 harness) and tried it again. A little better, but the
 roughness is still there. I pulled each wired and
 made sure that it was well seated and that there was a
 click when it clipped over the plug. No change. I
 pulled each wire off the distributor cap and snapped
 it back on. No change. I pulled the distributor cap
 off and checked to make sure the rotor was fully
 seated and that no damage had been done to the cap or
 the rotor. Seemed fine put it back together and get
 the same results. I plugged the MSD box back in and
 it just seems worse. It's like it just amplifies the
 stutter/stumble/miss. I would kill for a scan tool to
 see if I am getting misfires and on what plug. I have
 AutoTap for my Pontiac, and it tells you all of this
 stuff. Of course it isn't available for Mopars yet
 :-(
 Any more thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
