Maybe the digital deal won't do it, whatever it was.

It was in a '85 Camaro Stocker we helped a friend build back in the late 90's. All the components were mounted on a plate as above in the passenger floorboard. It sounded like it was on a two-step all the way down the track. Fred Niel said move the coil away from the box and into the engine bay which I did...solved the problem. I can't recall if it was a 7 or 6 MSD box, but it was before the digital was offered. Something to do with electromagnetic waves and no shielding the way I understood it.
