Default 350ci 425hp crate engine run
Got the engine and tranny in and fired it up a few times then the next day it wouldn't start again. After some time trouble shooting tracked it down to a bad MSD 6al box (Gkull is right go with Craine, much better looking unit) got new box wire in and here is an open header run.
