Bit of a Show off Mr. Bobtile. But what a car to show off.

Maybe someone can tell me what happened on Saturday. By the way, that was runner-up trophy. All of us kids need participation trophies now a days.
I went 3 rounds and got to the finals.
I bump in and light the top light. Then the other lane does the same.
Im not 100% sure of who went in next.
But, his 2nd light is on and mine flickers for a second ,then remains lit.
Next I see him take off and my light is red!
I 100% did not roll the beam.
I dont have a trans brake and I leave off idle.
On my time slip the reaction time says -lb3-.
Does anyone know what happened here?

I've been running in the 10.50 126mph range. Still have the old GTX converter in it.
First pass on Saturday it ran 10.78 126ish.
I got pissed off and pulled the brand new MSD distributor and wires out.
Put back my stock distributor and taylor wires.
Immediately ran 10.24@ 130.89
MSD junk is headed back!!!

Wow thats a huge ET drop for the MSD. Does it seem to run right and keep the plugs clean other than the ET drop? I have been having trouble getting my car running up to snuff, you've inspired me to pull the MSD and try my MoPar setup. I actually checked the rotor phasing on mine the other night and the spark under the cap was orange...

It was breaking up when doing my burnout.
The timing seemed to be jumping around when I put the light on it.
It doesnt do that with the stock distributor.
