The bracket and pick up are still mounted solid. I had the gap set at .050. the wires do run under the intake along with the hot wire to the alternator, but has been like that since I put it together. This started a long time after initial start up and several trips to the track. Could be some kind of interference with the wiring. As for rotor phasing, I checked multiple times to make sure the rotor was at #1 when the timing was at 34* on the balancer.

Rotor phasing is the big deal done by pointing the timing light at Post #6 with a hole in a test Cap, rotor-at- 6 during the flash vs RPM is a comforting good result that will provide a good night sleep, and clean hard acceleration.

Shielded wiring on that circuit is a great idea. Routing close to a water pump motor can cause a issue also.
