Installed MSD 6A, now breaking up after 5K
I never had any ignition problems before, I got the MSD to see if it would help at all. Now it breaks up at about 5K, and is running like **** under WOT. Cruising is fine. I checked the spark, looks good, I ran the ground to the chassis, then added one to the rotor housing which didnt help. Im about to say **** it and take it out, like I said it ran fine before. Just wondering if anyone had a similar problem with an MSD 6A.

I have...
Microtech LT8S
stock CAS
NGK BUR9EQP leading
NGK BUR9EQ trailing
factory NGK wires
stock FC Mazda leading and trailing coils
60-1 @ 14-15 psi
again, it runs fine idling or crusing, just breaks up, pulls pathetic, power drops off big time after 5K
So is the MSD 6A designed to work with the Blaster coils, and incompatible with the stock FC coils? I found a wiring diagram from MSD for the Mazda rotary and the picture shows Blasters hooked up....hmmm.

do it this way or you'll have problems. MSD's are known for pointing out bad ignition components. You might've thought your plugs and wires were in good shape, that is until the MSD let you know otherwise. lol...
