slant 6 no start issues

Have you had any progress? I had a similar problem went through replaced coil then ballast then ecu then wires ended up needing a distributor and the timing tinkered with and she fired up, are you getting any spark at all? Before the ballast wast cranking at all. Does it just crank over now when you say kick do you mean just turn or is there combustion? Try running a jumper wire from the positive terminal on battery to the center of distributor have a buddy or someone crank it and at the same time touch the wire to the center of the cap where it would run in from coil if your distributor is good it should spark don't hold it there long but just a few seconds should give you some insight
