MSD Ignition Help

[bordin34]

I am putting a Summit CD ignition, a re-shelled MSD StreetFire, in my car and am having a problem. Everything is hooked up correctly, but the box isn't receiving a crank trigger signal. The LED lights up about once every revolution or two. The car started once and while cranking the light was flashing a lot it started for about two seconds then stalled. Sometimes the LED doesn't even light up in a couple revolutions. I don't think the distributor is the problem because it was working just fine on my stock ignition. My ground and positive wire as well as my switched positive are fine. Any ideas?

Maybe a crank trigger issue??   loose maybe?

I checked the gap on the stock distributor and I have about .10. Everything worked fine with the stock ignition and a mallory 6a before I fried it in June.

I checked the gap again and tried adjusting it. It is set at .016 and is not possible to make any smaller.

Rev limiter not set to zero ?

Try turning it up.

The limiter is set at 5500

I finally got it to work, i pried on the pickup while tightening the screw and got the right gap.
