I'm thinking I would toss in a regular MP dist/ECU for a quick test to see if that makes it dissappear. Wouldn't be hard to do with some jumpers. I keep coming back to capping/plugging the vac can hose makes it much better. We've checked that the can/hose ain't leaking & we've added back in the timing the can was providing & we've corrected the rotor phaseing.
