I am going to switch the resistor to the + side and try it. I checked the wires going to the points and they are not touching the plate sooooo. I can get a used HEI for about $10 from a friend that owns a wrecking yard. They also have a spare head from a 292 that I can have for $25. I think I'll grab it for that money. A spare is a good idea. They are getting harder to find. Its in a 78-80 crewcab hooked to a turbo 400. Never seen a 292 in one of those before. Everyone I see are V8s. HEI is on the way when the $$$ come in. I put in a new one but may go to the used for now just to get it running. The MSD is spendy even from Summit. $298.00! But everything else is MSD on it. So I may save my pennies and go for it. Thanks everyone! Any other ideas please feel free.
