check the juice on both coil's + terminal.

where does the juice on the + terminal suppose come from?

did you delete the ballast resistors and junped both coils together for + ?????

From wires that formerly went to the balast resistor.

there's ur answer. For a quickie troubleshooting, remove all the wires on leading/trailing coils + terminal only (except the wires that goes to the dizzy's igniters). Run a piece of wire from the battery's + terminal to leading/trailing's + terminals.

a couple pics.
will wire nuts provide a decent connection till i get it working right and soldered?

Wire nuts work fine for trouble shooting.

ok.
i put a positive on each + terminal on the coils and wired it directly to the batt.
started right up.
so where am i suppose to get power from?
the way i have it now it doesnt shut off with the key, lol.

Here's a quick fix. Grab a fog lights relay. battery to the relay, ground, two terminals IIRC 87 and 87-A hook them up to the coil's + terminal. Now for find a wire in the wire loom that has voltage when the key is ON position. this wire needs to trigger the relay's low voltage. this is your ON & OFF switch. No key, no voltage.

Sorry, cant help you much on the rest as currently, I have a car in the oven.

i found my mistake.
when i hooked up the new positive wires to the coils that go to the ignitors i forgot to put the old positives that supply power to the coils.
now for the soldering and cleaning up.
runs awesome, excellent upgrade.

cant seem to figure out my tach though....

im doing this same swap and i was wondering about the power and tach as well.

so i just need to link my old positive wires to my new, correct? what do we need to do about the tach?

heres the write up i used.
yea just double up the old positive wires and the new ones.
i still cant get my tach to work....

Run the tach off of the leading, not the trailing on the SAs.

iTrader: (4)

not the problem.

bump. what do we do about the tach? just run the wire to the trailing positive?
