[DeTomaso] MSD Symtoms

[PersoCaddy at aol.com]

Hi, So I am driving in 5th at  65 mph and 3,000 rpms or  so on my way to 
Pocono  and the car backfires thru the carb and the tach  needle is flapping  up 
and down, no bucking from the car. I pull over to  the side of the road and get 
flat bedded back home, luckily only 25 miles out.  Put the car back in the 
garage and took the Benz to Pocono. This is almost  certainly the classic 
symptoms of bad electrics. The MSD is a 6A about 15 years  old, no wielding down on 
car to be a possible cause. I have a brand new 6Al with  the rev limit chip 
that  I have had for 2 years which I will now put in of  course. So is this the 
way an MSD fails when it goes ? Regards to all Pat  Orlando 1972 Yellow 
Pantera S/N 4011.
