Grigg/We B Old you guys got me a lot closer than I've been in weeks. I ran a 12g wire from the positive battery terminal directly to the coil. Turned it over and it started belching and farting. WAY more response than I've gotten since i last drove it. So from that I'm taking that the new battery cables i installed are too thin and my timing is now off from me fiddling with it.
I got a buddy who builds hotrods that says he's got 6 feet of cable in his garage. So hopefully I can get it back on the road by this weekend.
