MSD sells a diode to fix this problem. Read your instructions. The fix is covered in the directions.

New MSD box comes with one. You can also get them at radio shack. Make sure heavy red and heavy black wires go DIRECTLY to Battery also. If you have them jumped in somewhere with another accesory, (fan,starter,etc) it can sometimes still get a feedback even with the diode installed.

heres my post from back in 07

found out what the problem was, thanks to odyknuck who found a post on the samba. turns out i installed a new oil cooler with a fan, when the fan shuts down it back feeds a charge which appearently is enough to keep the ign. running for a few seconds. what made this a little more confusing is that i installed a thermostatic switch inline so the only time the problem appeared was when the oil temp got to 165deg. and kicked the fan on. simple fix, just had to install a diode on the power supply to the fan to keep it from back feeding. im really suprised that when i called msd tech support they never brought this up. sorta reminds me of going to the auto parts store, nobody thinks oudside the box.
