Msd blaster problem? Or electrical contact problem?
Alright. heres todays problem, :/ Engine wont turn over. Battery is fine. I just put in a new 3g alternator, had it running/firing up no problem yesterday. Drove it around a little, brought it back let it sit for 3 hours went out to run some errands and it wont even turn over. I have an MSD ignition with the MSD Blaster 2. Is it maybe that? Thanks for your help.

I know it sounds simple, but make sure your battery connections are good, tight, and clean.
My truck has done that in the past and all I had to get out and wiggle the negative clamp and it would fire right up. I bought a new clamp since then and haven't had any issues.
Just a suggestion.

Let us know what you find out. My '79 with stock everything started doing the 1 click or several rapid clicks in the solenoid. Replaced the battery, replaced solenoid, starter was new in January. Sometimes it starts right up.
