I had a newborn 6ALMSD box And a new blaster coil installed as a upgrade but I am not getting a feed through the trigger signal on the box. Everything else in the car electrical seems to be working. Have I fried the ammeter or what other suggestions but you have for me to work next. I’m running out of time and pop

Regardless, with the dedicated + and - MSD wires attached and the switched 12 volt wire powered up there is a procedure in the installation manual to test for spark. Have you tried that ? That bypasses the distributor. If it fires look at the distributor next. Last edited by Transman; 02/28/21 02:45 PM.
