Reply to GENE's Post: I was looking at maybe the ground was the big mass??And it is not the msd BOX? It is a coil there are 8 on a 5.7 !

You are not going to get that,the only other thing that we can come up is to try and put dielectric grease on the coil connectors when you install them,This is a common problem with msd components,accell,s not much better
