On this box you MUST put in the ZERO chips in the front of it. If you don't all kinds of weird thing happen. It states this in the MSD book

MULTI-STEP RETARD
There are four retard modules available with the 7AL-3. Each module is activated independently by removing ground from the corresponding module. The controlling terminals are listed as RET-1 through RET-4 and are located on the third terminal strip. The modules can be activated in any order and are cumulative unless deactivated. The maximum amount of retard allowed is a total of 20° even if the modules add up to more than 20°.
Note: If a Retard function is not going to be used the corresponding terminals must be grounded, or a "zero" degree module must be installed.

I know that, all the retards have zero chips in.

The chips are sometimes bad. I have the chips in, and have a jumper grounding all four of the screws on the front for the retard triggers. More than one guy has been burned by one of the chips not being enough.
