I don't buy the type of coil (epoxy, E-core) is what killed it, original GM HEI distributors were using them from the factory.

All the aftermarket HEI modules have a coil recommendation, and all have E-core type coils on the list. Some provide a range of resistance value for their' modules, most coils list their' values.

Of course if you're running an MSD box, you should be running the low resistance bushing, and many recommend it with aftermarket modules. That can't be done in small bodies, because the bushing is integrated with the cap. Solution is to run the MSD replacement caps, or others that have the low resistance bushing. Those all use HEI towers on the cap, so you would know which is which.

Glad you got it figured out Will, did you address the cranking issue too?
