Default Not getting any spark?

Like it said, i'm not getting any spark! Some say it could be the igniter, some say the MSD6a failed although it's only a few months old.

Too see if it's the msd or not, why not just bypass the msd. If there still isnt spark then try to replace your ignitor.

That's probably my first choice tomorrow is to bypass the MSD.

We did some test and found it's coming from inside the distributor. It's actually the thing that you hook up the two wires to from an external coil. Is that the ignighter? If so then that thing is as much as the distrbutor itself. Autozone sells it for $179.00 !

Why not just get a new distributor for that amount?

the thing that you hook up the two wires to for an external coil is the wires from the internal coil..

We'll it's not the distributor. I borrowed a distributor and it still did the same thing. WTF! Right when I get my car back this happens.
