oops, forgot I posted this here.
All my IGN components are brand new. Cap, rotor, coil, everything except the dizzy. Firing order is dead on. All the parts look the be in perfect shape. No arcing, faulty parts at all from inspection. IGN coil's resistance was spot on MSD's specs. Box and coil are both brand new.
It almost seems like the problem may be timing related, because with my VAC advance connected, I have the same symptoms X10.
Heres an old video after a fresh install of the box with the vac advance connected.
