That's what I'm thinking. This is a COMPLETE RESTO I just did, with new harness, but original switches, etc. I'm a pro bodyman/restorer, but have never run into a 56 Chevy straigh 6 with the foot pedal is all. My last resto was a Dodge Challenger and if I can get a MOPAR system figured, this can't be much harder!
I actually jumped a wire from the IGN1 to IGN 2 terminals to get full power to the coil and it fired as I said. But after cranking for a while and trying to start it, it got worse.

I was just reading a great thread about MikeR's 1966 Burb. It was an EXCELLENT thread, but then nothing after Nov 6th!!! I need to know how it ended - do you know?

I'll be back on the Chev Thursday. Thanks again. (check my blog)
