Re: My Spark Disappeared!

I suspect that you have either a bad plug (cracked porcelain?), or that spark is jumping from your plug wires. Have you tried looking under the hood at night with the lights out?--Also do it while revving the motor. I don't recommend driving in 4th gear with the hood open at night with the lights out. LOL

Were the plugs gapped? I use .045 with my MSD6AL. A plug with a broken porcelain can do weird things. I used to be able to tell if there was a broken one on our ignition scope. If you have the old plugs, you might try reinstalling them and see if the problem goes away.
