I had the same exact issue and contacted MSD regarding the problem awhile back. The problem is most likely NOT the MSD...it's the spark plug gap. Gap your plugs down to around .035-.032 or lower if needed and see if the issue resolved itself.

Lets not exaggerate...a ton? What is your current gap set at? I have been through 3 MSD coil packs without an issue. One on each of my 2 SRT-s and a spare I got from a friend that still worked and I sold it. My current one has no issues at all and I have the Nology Hotwires in place.

Like I said before...I contacted MSD directly. They walked me through all possibilities until we found the issue. If you are gapped at .032 then take it down to .030 or even less. I suggest you contact them and see if they can take the pack back to be tested. You may be surprised...but maybe you do have a bad pack. Their failure rate is LESS than 1% for ALL of their sales combined...I doubt that is a ton. Just FYI. Good luck anyway.

MSD = No fail. Your shit needs to be gapped correctly.
