Sometimes ya just can't win...

Got the car together & running & it's the meanest thing I have built. When I got it running 2 years ago I killed the MSD7 ignition box. Just to make it to Detroit I stuck a MSD6 on it so I had a spare. Finally got it put back on & you guessed it, pop! This stupid car is eating me out of house & home! I'm thinking it might be time to put it outside for the winter... I just wanna break stuff!

Damn that sucks Rick!.

How good is your ground? Pics?

Ive read many times over the years that going overkill with the ground wire is you safest bet, And a inline fuse. This is why I have the ground on our digi 6 going from the box to the firewall, On the same fastener/wire that leads to the engine block.

I just cannot recall the size of the fuse you should use though?

Im not trying to sound like your a noob! Sorry if it reads that way. Just trying to be constructive.

I went over everything just in case. It was running forever with the 6 but now it's dead, tested the box & the fuses. Think I am gonna back away from cars for awhile. Lack of funds & stuff

Always Big Fun indeed.............

The BS1 car needs new tires, the trans has been flaring on the 1-2, and just needs a small handful of dis 'n dat, so I guess I can figure on dumping about a thousand into it this winter.

Ebay is looking better all the time, but if I want to sell it I have to fix it and if I fix it I may as well race it so....................

Been stewing on this all night. Might just put a crap stocker in it & race it, at least the carnage is cheaper. Sad thing is I have gotten a LOT out of this box, bought it in '89 Thinking about a Digital7 now
