That sounds like a simple and cheap enough fix. I'll let you know how it works out. Thanks for the help Zed Head. Derik

The engine feels like it's misfiring during hard acceleration(wot), high rpm, 5000 in 1st, 4 in 2nd, and most noticable in 3rd starting around 3100rpm. no popping , just the sound of the engine stuttering from a misfire, like a plug wire shorting intermittently. the tach needle is steady throughout rpm range. No, I don't have the FSM, no info in my alldata for this vehicle. I am hoping someone familiar with this engine experienced the identical problem. The only reason for the MSD pump is because the oe was leaking and I needed an affordable fix asap. got a price of$1170 for direct fit. The filter is a spetre glass inline with plastic screen. I am most likely going get send the original out and get a reman. Thanks for your reply Derik

I'm workin on a mostly stock '77 280, except msd 43 gph f.pump(noisy bastard). feels electrical. primary coil resistance is .3ohms, secondary is 10.75k, resistor block is 2ohms wires range from 7.99k to 10.20k, plugs are new, cap & rotor look good, pick up set at .3mm. I tried downloading the manual from this site because I don't know the actual acceptable spec range(s). fuel pressure is 30psi with regulator under full vacuum and 43psi with no vac. I installed an inline filter before the pump and a new factory filter under hood. I even tried bypassing the fuel damper, that just made the pump noise louder. I insulated the pump in the factory bracket by wrapping in rubber to make up diameter, reamed out the mount plate holes under the mount bracket and the mount plate and insulated with 1/8" rubber and o-rings around bolt to prevent metal to metal contact. Still annoyingly loud, any ideas on either? obviously the performance issue is more important. Who wants to be my new buddy?? Derik
