Coil/Bracker Arcing

Well, in further exploration into my stumble/hesitation problem, I gave the lights out trick another shot tonight.

My coil/bracket is arcing in four different places.

Anyone else have this problem, and how did you fix it???

Mine was doing the same thing recently. Changed the coil and problem went away.

Well, the coil in it right now is an MSD Blaster, and I don't know how old it is. I haven't gone and done a good check with the less than six month old Accel 300+ coil yet, but that's up on the list. I've also got a hypertech coil on my other car that I can check.

Any ideas oh how to make sure the arcing stops with a new coil. I don't want to buy one to have the same problem reoccur.
