Ok i installed the old grill but i did not like the look so i decided to put in a fabricated grill i hand made from diamond mesh ..I think it fits the look of the car....

Well i go to start the car today after running the wires ..push button start and all ..and she cranks over but nothing else.. so i spend 2 hours trouble shooting the wires and swapping in three different coils..so i check the wires at my nice and expensive MSD Pro Billet Dizzy, oh and wouldn`t you know it that on a quality piece like an MSD the ground wire is broken in the connector.. no problem ill hard wire it ..ok still no spark ,so i take the cap off and the base plate to get to the inner electric reluctor (i think thats what its called) ..and there is no power in the wires ..so i removed the dizzy and i will disassemble it tomorrow to see what is wrong with the internal wiring..you know you try and buy quality pieces and it still dont work out..oh and i bought it 2 years ago so I guess theres no warranty left.. I was so looking forward to firing this baby up with open headders today.
Anyone else had a problem with an MSD dizzy???????
