Digital 6 problems
I've got about 4 hours of run time on the new setup. Its been running pretty well so far. Tonight I went to take my car to the shop to set valve lash - I got about 1 block from home and it stalled. After quite a while, it fired and stalled again after maybe 1 second. After I crank it over, the LED on the box goes from solid to flashing. I am not getting spark to the coil - I even tried another coil to be certain and the battery shouldn't be an issue. Its a brand new Optima Red Top that had a charge. That being said, I ever tried it with cables to another car. The fuel bowls are full.
Its a Digital 6 box with a Pro Billet distributor and a Blaster SS coil. Any ideas of what the problem is? My guess is that the box is buggered. My buddy at the speed shop can get one in for Friday morning which is good as I have a race Friday night and Saturday.

Sounds like you've found the problem. I've not been having too good of luck with MSD lately myself. A 5 month old coil left me stranded using the Dig6 box. Right now I have all of it yanked out and am using an Accel coil. Working fine so far.....
Sure glad they have a "quick disconnect feature", makes it easy to eliminate their parts for "trouble-shooting"....
May look at one of the HI-6S units, but not too sure anything is REALLY REQUIRED ....
