MSD problems.. FIXED!!!!

So, nobody online was able to help... I finally called MSD up.... his very first question was: "are your signal wires next to any power wires?"... My answer was yes... It turns out that the signal wires were getting interference from the power wires.... that simple... re-routed, hooked everything back up... car is perfect, AND I've got my limiter now, which is set at 8K... Kinda wild when I hit it... I was told it looks like a machine gun firing out the back of my car.... LOL...

Hes using an MSD 6AL, although, I think the mass consensus says to just use the 6A.
