Tomarrow night I'll watch for sparks. One of my MSD wires has a little wear in the outer coating, but nothing crazy. I patched it with some good ol' red tape.
Problem is, it could be so many things.

ahh hmmm...I don't know that I trust those fuel injector cleaners too much. I knew I was getting mine rebuilt so I used STP'* cleaner every tank for 4 tanks then pulled them and sent them to www.injectors.com. Here'* the results:
BEFORE:
Cylinder: 1 2 3 4 5 6
Avg: 74.5 77.1 76.4 72.7 73.2 71.2 Difference: 8.4%
Reverse cycle: DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY
Spray pattern OK N/G N/G OK N/G N/G
AFTER:
Cylinder: 1 2 3 4 5 6
Avg: 77.8 77.9 77.9 76.4 77.1 76.4 Difference: 2.0%
All patterns good
So after 4 bottles of cleaner the spray pattern on 4 out of 6 was bad and all 6 were rated as dirty, also a difference of 8.4% is unacceptable for smooth performance. This costed about $160 for all of them after taxes and *&h. Plus they come with all new pins, they're painted, and new o-rings. Might be something to consider if you wanna dig them out.
