bhappy,

You're on an Easter-egg hunt. I was on that hunt myself, changing everything and scratching my head. It seems you skipped passed Howard's suggestion on Post#27. This was the cause of the problem with mine. I had no idea the overdrive could completely short-circuit ignition. When I was removing my OD solenoid, I grounded a wire that made the OD relay contacts stick, completely shutting down my ignition. Of course I checked everything else, changed the coil etc...

If you follow Howard's instruction on disconnecting or circumventing the OD, you can eliminate this possibility. Once the OD relay contacts were unstuck everything worked fine.

Worth a try.
