New 6a box matched up with Flamethrower hei distributor.Engine ran well before the install.Now the engine hesitates when reving up.I know of this prob with the 5 and 7 pin module in the distributor.There is a resistor that is needed to correct this prob for the 5 and 7 pin module.My module is a 4 pin and has the stumble,hesitation of the 5 and 7 pin.Any ideas why I have this problem?Thanks.

Take the module out, run the pickup coil straight to the MSD. You don't need the module.

Mechanic did not remove the module on install.Wired up for 4 pin and I made sure module was removed.Car idled fine and would not turn off when ignition is in off position.Wired the diode in and problems solved.Whom so ever purchase a 6a box for gm hei 4 pin module.Make sure you order pn 8860.Your going to need it.I was lucky the local speed shop had the part in stock.
