Could my 340 block be filled?

The coil I bought is a MSD 8222----I'll check the ballast Resistor when I get home.....I think there is numbers on the picture I posted of it. I'm pretty sure it was made by Standard.
From the picture the numbers look like 23979 and 5206836

I will do some voltage checks sometime later tonight.....and post results for when car is first started. Thanks

Don't use the ballast resister with that coil, bypass it.

Also make sure the float level is set right, it's possible , unless you're checking for spark...that it's flooded from bowl pressure bleed off through the mains. Just what I would look into initially with those symptoms.
