I will do your suggestion later today. I have a service call to do first then its back to the truck. I did check the ground and got zero ohms from the ground of the battery to the distributor. I get 12 volts on the + side of the coil and the same on the other side, actually slightly less. The same at the resistor. Both sides are the same voltage coming from the - side of the coil then going to the points. The strange thing is that when I hooked up the + side to the resistor then to the coil I got nothing to the dist at all. Not even a weak spark. At least the other way I get a weak spark. I even switched back the condenser again and no results. The original wiring had been eliminated as it was a TBI set up before. BUT it did run! I drove it about 25 miles and thats it. Just won't fire up again. I will do a continuity test when I get back. Whats so odd is that I have been turning wrenches over 40 years and I'm also and electronic tech, self employed, as well for the last 11 years. I should be able to figure it out but alas..... I will do the test later today and post the results. Thanks 3B and Wrenchbender and others very much. Henry
