I have an MSD BTM box that has a weird problem. When I have it all hooked up MINUS the Boost Retard **** the car will start/run. However, when I CONNECT the retard **** to the box, the engine will NOT fire. No spark at all.

Now....I don't NEED the timing retard at all, I do that through LT1_edit. But, I do need the increased ignition power output to increase the spark intensity.

My question is......is the box being utilized while the retard **** is NOT plugged in? Or is it just being bypassed? I'll gladly hook it all back up (took it out, thought it wasn't working) if any of you think its actually working. I don't wanna jack with it if it won't work in there, and I don't want to buy a new MSD 6AL if it WILL work in there.

I'm having major problems with the spark being blown out by my boost (I think, anyway), and I've only been using the stock ignition with an MSD Blaster coil so far.

Thanks for any help, posting this in Forced Induction as well.
