Had a similar problem. The reluctor wheel and pickup in my msd dist were badly corroded and the gap was way off. Cheap parts to change

Crank trigger I believe. No reluctor or pickup in distributor to worry about.

But you pounded your chest about it. Like a BABOON. I’d call you a monkey’s A$$ but it would be too mean to the monkey.

Bucky you are correct on the crank trigger.

Any chance you are running Mickey Thompson tires? Could be that if so.

Well as I thought the converter did not fix it. Still chasing my ass I quess.


I can't make you a guarantee, but if you go back and look at what I suggested, your issues might be fixed.

I ran into exactly as you are describing. 5 race cars and 30 years of racing.

Most rides do not segregate the shifters solenoid out of the wiring equation, and most don't know that the solenoid has the most draw in the entire electrical system. You don't have to feel an issue to actually have an issue with a shifter solenoid. You'd be surprised at what you might see on a time slip when you take the load off the ignition. I've witnessed gains shown on a time slip, yet not felt or even heard by the driver.

You can break/tax an ignition system a few ways, as each one is problematic. Sprag, stator tube, shifter solenoid.

It is a belt driven pump.


Just spotted this above statement.

Bizarre occurrences with belt driven pumps and crank trigger wires. I've witnessed more then once, with msd crank trigger wires, pick up interference from the belt driven pump when the wires are run close to the pump. The reason why you'll never see msd transducers or wheels on any engine out of my shop, is because of the failure rate and issues. They ARE NOT shielded cables, where as other manufactures are. When the belt driven gears become magnetized, and they do at times, it's an issue. Wrapping tin foil around the crank trigger wires has proven at the race track during trouble shooting, to have worked. Re-routing also has helped. Never seen on an electric pump, but I have witnessed this on belt driven pumps.

Agreed ...... exactly why you'll never see an electric shift on anything we build ..... air only.

You know Strange.....this would have been a great tip for me about two months ago!
I may have to look at that. Do Hall Effect sensors have the same issue with the pump belt at times?

Strange I’ll check into this. I guess I missed this in the read somewhere along the way.

My bet is the belt driven pump is the culprit, as stated a few pages ago.

Hope it fixes it.

This is a pump from Ron’s injection. James Monroe told me that if I can turn it by hand it’s working. There is no restriction in the fuel system lines and I had 9 lbs pressure going down the track. I have lowered it back down also, that was to high I know before y’all at it. It’s all going into my friends car on Thursday night. If it does it in his cas we will change the fuel system over to him electric pump and try it again

How far away from the crank trigger sensor / wiring is the Rons fuel pump?

I do understand it is tough to stay focused through most of these posts due to some azz clown who riddles each and every page like it's cancer, but if you got him on block, you'll be able to pick up some good tips. Shame on the moderator for allowing this window licking tard to be on every page of every single post herein drr.
