For several months now,
I have been using a 1985 Mazda distributor and a MSD 6A  on my 1986 13B
Recently I encountered an ignition problem which caused the engine to shake
and run unbalanced
I removed the MSD 6A and reinstalled the original configuration of the 1985
Mazda ignition system
The engine now starts readily and runs well for a few seconds then no 1
rotor starts missing and the engine slows sputtering and stops...
It will start again even if I retry immediately and go through the same
routine again and again. Duration each time of 5 to 10 seconds.
21 Sep 2000: I found out that all three ignition coils were defective and
the trailing ignition high tension wire was inoperative. These were all new
parts with less than 50 hours use with the MSD 6A.
The engine now runs  well for minutes on end then may slow and sputter for a
few seconds, so I suspect that my Holley EFI was also damaged at the same
time...More later.
