Default MSD issues - HELP!!!

Hey guys,

The R has an external msd ss blaster that is run to the dizzy inside the cap.

I decided to remove it and replace it with a new dizzy just because.

When I installed the new dizzy, the car doesn't even attempt to start. I tried another dizzy off another R of mine and that did the same thing.

I then re-installed the original dizzy w/ the external blaster and the car started right up.

With the new dizzy, the car doesn't even attempt to start at all.

It does have an alarm on the car but I"m not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Also, I did not see the MSD box anywhere in the car.

Suggestions?

** ALSO THE CAR IS THROWING A CODE FOR TDC **

Make sure your new dizzy is setup with the internal oem coil.

Ditto that^^^ it's a good bet the OEM coil was removed when the MSD blaster coil was installed.
I removed my stock coil when I installed my MSD blaster coil and the MSG distributor cap. 94
