I've got a problem with my 455 pontiac. It uses a point trigger distributor and a msd 6al - blaster 2 coil. My problem is that when I try to start the engine, it "tries" to start. I pulled a spark plug wire, and noticed the my control-plug only made 2-3 sparks and then nothing, even though I kept running the startermotor. Why does the spark "go away" any tips ???

So you're still using points? Take a look at those first. It could be them.

Have the coil checked. Auto zone or others can check it for you. MSD coils made in Mexico have been going bad, don't know if that is resolved yet. I had on burn up my new MSD Timing master box! FRANK
