OD - Thanks, I'll check with NAPA to see what they have. Hopefully they have something that will work.

Ross - That's the missing information I was looking for. I wasn't sure how things were supposed to be set up. By "first step", do you mean the smallest step? Just need to be sure I've got it right.

I doubt that there is an ignition resistor in the circuit. When my dad got it, it had the original ignition switch and armored cable going to the coil. I replaced the armored cable with a wire due to the original shorting out on the armor. There was not resistor that I could see and I did not put one in. What type of resistor do I need to use and where do I put it?



With any luck I hope to have the ignition issues sorted out tonight. That will give me enough time to do one or two test drives before the show on Saturday.
