I'm running the blue box that came with the kit (heh, it's not the black box though :P)

and I've got my spark going through a msd blaster ss coil and msd sci ignition box and msd 8.5mm wires.

A few people from other boards are telling me that it's my plugs are fouling out due to the blue box running the car sooo rich, does this sound about right??

I have the same problem as you are having. First off, dont drive te car. I kept driving mine and now I blew out the ring lands on the 1 and 3 cylinder. I was getting a ---- load of crankcase pressure. It was so much, it would blow the oil dipstick rght out of the tube, and it blew smoke and oil from the breather filter on the vave cover.

ok, I pulled and replaced my plugs and the new ones are gapped at .035 (that's what I found on msd's site for what they should be at with the sci ignition).

Looking at the plugs...







they don't look fouled but I don't know what I'm looking at haha...

explaining the fuzzyness!:

black ring on bottom of threaded part with nice white porcelain and the electrode is mostly black except the part that I'm assuming conducts the spark which is nice and greyish/white

so I'm assuming the plugs were fine....

I replaced the fuel filter too and will be test driving the car after the rain lets up but this is just fyi for all the fine people helping me thus far

comments/suggestions??

I have a blaster SS coil, but it still does it. How might it be the igniter?
