I tried using the start retard on my digital 6, which I purchased in 2002, and had the exact same problem. I tore up about three starters before I just put back in a advance into the distributer, and used the normal V8 setting on the pot. MSD never said anything about having problems two years earlier, as stated in the last post. If you can figure out the problem, let me know. Sean
