Two blinks is the error code for no cam sync. Which if you don't have the cam sync sensor is normal.

Hard to say what might be wrong, could be your crank trigger, or a coil, maybe the box is bad ? You have any spares to swap out?

What do you use to trigger the MSD? A crank trigger? Distributor pickup? This article might help trouble shoot it -

Those do act up from time to time. That article will show you how to test it. You can ohm it out, etc. to see what is wrong.

make test :
wrong flash ... I have not two flash but 3 flash ! 3 flash = low battery tension

trigger resistance is 80 ohm OK and trigger gap is correct .070

tension on msd connection when cranking is 10,6 volts ... is low ?? I have two battery on trunk and 100 ah alternator

I've seen them start with lower voltage, but all your signs are pointing at a low voltage situation. It sounds like testing your battery/s, battery connections, etc. would be worthwhile at this point.

Starting to sound like you have a bad 7531 box.

hello .. Finally my box was damaged from tension jump ... now is repaired OK. . now this is the installation specs :

Idle 28 degree
total timing 36 degree
start retard 9 degree
nitrous activation retard 10 degree ( 250 HP) on pink wire

I don't understand very well the slew rate gear ... I don't want use this .. I fear that can active in automatic and make some problems.
