Well, after 14 years and many frustrating days we finally got it to run on Saturday. I had a few intake/exhaust leaks as well as a gas leak but after resolving those issuesm, adjusting valves, it run s pretty good after a 14 year vacation. However we still haven't resolved the wiring issue. We were able to get it running by going from the battery to the coil. There's still something going on with the ignition wires. When running through the ignition we get 12.8 volts to the top of the resistor, through the 20 gauge brown wire, and 0 at the bottom green wire. There seems to be a problem with the two green wires that run from ignition, one to the coil and one to the resistor. We've switched 3 different ignition switches, 4 coils, 3 resistors. We're down to thinking the connector that is supposed to connect the green wires to the ignition switch is not making contact.
I went to junk yard yesterday and cut out connector and wires from an old 59. I'll be trying that tomorrow or Thursday and will let you know.
Once again, I want to thank everyone who has provided their input.
