396 Stocker Motor won't RPM

Bobby: My brother Joe Martens (B/S '69 Camaro at the time) had a similar problem with the dial type two-step rev limiter back when he first started racing @ 2004. A Super Gas racer offered a MSD single channel digital ignition tester to use to check the ignition (7AL-2 with dial type two-step rev limiter) and it showed that the spark would break up at 6000-6100 RPM. He pulled the unit and sent it back to MSD for a rebuild. Upon receipt of the repaired dial type two-step rev limiter, the same results occurred. We 86'd the dial type and went to the pill type and it worked perfectly.
