Default Re: misfire @ cruising speeds MSD digital E curve dist.

I have the digital e curve set up using a MSD6AL aswell.
both got good power from battery.
hooked to the + post on battery.
grounds are both on the valve cover hold down.
btw aluminum heads and intake.
engine grounded to frame and battery -.
ground wire also between the engine block and valve cover hold down where the msd 6AL and digital e curve distributor are grounded.
Seems im not the only one with this issue
I talked to a guy at a carshow and noticed he had same problem with his digital e curve dist
I will take a stab at just something I see when reading what you posted. Keep in mind I do not or have never used a E Curve Dist.

Could be wrong here but try running the ground straight to the chassis, better safe then sorry for sure, a ground issue can cause all kinds of issues.
