Did you install the diode in the alternator harness ? I had the same problem with my 69 but it was with initial start up after box installation.

As Berrygoat said, did you install the diode? I had the same problem with an MSD on a '70 GP. There is a diode that I think comes with the MSD-- you need to splice it into one of the wires coming off the voltage regulator. I think terminal 4, but it's been a long time so I'm not sure. Call MSD tech if the instructions don't help.

Just so you know, in case you don't have the correct diode, it takes a 1V/100A diode. You can pick these up at any Radio Shack.

part number is 1N4001.
I would use the 1N4004 for ruggedness. H.I. Stud

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
