Tclederman, in a matter of speaking I have the truck "hot wired" because I did not find a 6v battery and Koolkar has told me he will help me convert it to 12v. The coil is a supposedly brand new 12v coil. I have checked to see if electricity is flowing FROM the coil, and it is not. How do I check to see if any is going to it? Do I take the wire I have connected to the coil and the starter, disconnect it from the coil, and hold it to the engine too or?
