>>>Bob Benson has reported failures of MSD distributor caps also.   I would 
think that would be more likely to give the indications you are receiving.  
 If you have a spare cap, install that before changing boxes and test the 
results.

And if you don't have a spare cap, WHY don't you have a spare cap, given 
that you are hundreds of miles from the nearest replacement cap in the event 
of a failure, and given that spare caps are cheap? :>)
