Well, I tried some other things and still nothing. There is not enough fire to light a match let alone the points or HEI. Still makes absolutely no sense. I tried putting the resistor to the + side of the coil and absolutely not even a tiny spark. Not even 12 volts at the coil then so I changed it back and I get a weak spark and not a darn thing more. remember it has a NEW MSD coil but tried three others as well. I checked the ground to the distributor and its right on the money. No resistance soooo now what? Only two wires go to the starter instead of three. The strange thing is it did run! Then wouldn't restart and still won't. Even going straight to the battery! The spark disappears. Also has a new battery. It turns over and thats all it does. Darn that !@#$%^&*()
