Check out Jeff20B's website:

He's done a great job and put together all of the info. you need to hook this up and includes a wiring diagram etc. Also explains everything (timing,etc.).

You might also want to check all of the wiring hook-ups to make sure nothing has come loose. I had a similar problem when one of the wires came off a leading coil. Hooked it back up and....voila, everything was once again, aaallll ggood!!!!

I had the same thing happen with my MSD that i ran. I Installed it, and my car started to have no power over 4k and had a lot of detonation. So i pulled it apart, rewired the Signal wires and insulted them and it works like a dream now. I would check to make sure your signal wires aren't arching anywhere.

People insult my car all_the_time but it never seems to make it run any better.
