I hook the box up today using the MSD adapter harness, I am 99.7% sure that the box is installed correctly, yet the car won't start. I disconnect the box and she fires right up. I reconnect the box....nothing. I leave the box connected and use the bypass harness and she fires up. The start retard is set at .01, I have played with it all the way up to 10* of start retard. What am I missing?

Its either wired wrong, you have a power source supplying the box that gets interrupted when cranking, or the box is bad.

I ran the constant source staight to the battery, I'll go back over the wiring.... How can I test to see if the box it self is bad?

Don't know of a way, other than the car not starting
How did you cross over the wires between the Mallory colors, and MSD harness?

Maybe the box is bad. Wouldn't be the first time I received a bad ignition part....opti, icm, coil, 1 bad msd plug wire in a set....
