Thanks Charlie, I'll check that today. I did see a video on checking the electronic distributer. I'll let you know.

Thanks, I watched some of their YouTube videos (MSD), don't say much about the resistor or the how & why of the wiring. I'll send them an email.

Well I replaced the coil and the resistor, the starter switch is good. I'm still not getting spark. I replaced the points with electronic when it was rebuilt, but it was running fine with it. What else could it be. Do I need the resistor with the electronic dist? I'm using the high performance MSD coil. It fires once when I turn the key to off position. HELP!

Thanks, I ran a 'hot' wire to coil and did not solve problem. I was wondering about that ballast resistor, not sure how to check it. Can you check that with a meter for resistance? Greg

My 1963 was running just fine. Went to start it today and it will not fire. It turns over just fine, new battery. It sounds like it's not getting spark. When I try to start and then turn key off it fires, only when I stop turning it over. Help

GOT IT! Running great. It was the electronic ignition sending unit 'Mallory'. Lots of discussion on how to wire it. I have it wired thru the resistor putting 9Volts to coil ( no 12V at any time). Some said I would need 12V to coil to start but it starts just fine with 9V. Fellow at Loppers said not to put 12V thru the sender it will eventually burn out. (and it did). THANKS GUYS for the help, this is a great forum. Greg
