So I couldn't wait and went out to try it. Removed the ballast and connected the ignition wire directly to the coil. Ran the ignitor directly to the coil as the diagram showed and no luck. Then tried to bypass ignition switch by connecting directly from the battery to the coil and nothing.
Guess back to the drawing board. I hate electrical gremlins!! It would probably be easier to just get a whole new wiring kit than trace back whatever was previously done.
