are they properly grounded? The ignitors/coil get their ground reference through the original mounting studs

Yah, check the grounds. And while you are at it, check all your other grounds.

If it worked before than like these guys say, check to make sure its grounded.

You can also check to make sure the coil is good by checking resistance. Remove the black plastic cover and check the resistance on the terminal screws. Black probe on one terminal screw, red probe on the other. From memory, resistance should be somewhere between 0.2-2 Ohms.

run a cable from the negative terminal of the battery and secure it to the body of the ignitor
