    Im just having a hell of a time. In addition to my throttle linkage problem i am also having ignition problems. I had bubba hot rod shop convert my points distributer to the chrysler/hei conversion with external ign. mod i wired it up just as it was labeled with a .5 ohm ign. coil and i have no spark. does anybody have experience with this set up and could shed so light on my issue. I have tried calling bubba but since its a holiday they are closed i would like to resolve this issue this weekend. anything would be truely helpful. thanks
     
  2. If you attached a test light to the positive and negative sides of the coil, wouldn't the light flash as the "points" opened and closed. If so you would know if the ignition trigger was working. With out that, nothing else matters.

    I wired one of those ignitions from a schematic. Follow your wires, check voltage going into the box, check your grounds. Once it works, it will be trouble free. Maybe get another set of eyes to watch you sort it.

    talked with linder he said to run a wire from the battery to the module ground or the distributer and if that didnt work to reverse it coming out of the distributer. i get off work soon so we will find out.
