I'm having trouble getting my 62 235 running. I recall that it ran for a while after I installed a new dizzy and coil. The coil states that an external resistor must be used. Is this different from the old coil I removed. If so, what size resistor should I use? If I ran it without a resisitor that was required, did I damage the new coil?

Lastly, what kind of voltages should I be measuring at the connections on the starter, with the key in the run position? It's turning over, but maybe I lost the power to the coil on the "solenoid" unit attached to the starter.

Grandpa gave it to me, it is straight and original with about 90K original miles..
