Yeah, I had the same thing happen to me. At first I thought the coil was defective, but the replacement did it as well. I had to remove my tach filter. Mine was a 1/2" diameter by 2" tall cylinder attached to the drivers side firewall behind the distributor. I removed it and spliced the wires together and haven't had a problem since.
