In your previous thread, 383 Chevy Stroker, you indicated you had a bad ignition module in the MSD distributor.  Did you replace the module?

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

I had sort of the same problem. I was told  to tie the ground directly to the battery. I did, it worked. Hope this helps

Why don't you post some pics of your setup and the wiring diagram?

Is it possible the wires under the distributer cap are not insulated from each other. Make sure they can't ground out.
