Verify coil

As I said earlier check carefully that nothing accidently got wired to the coil + side of the coil. Is this factory wiring?

Another thing to check is that the factory coil bypass is hooked up correctly. It is the brown wire tied into the coil+ side of the ballast, goes through the bulkhead connector, and to the IGN2 terminal of the switch. It is even possible that the switch itself is AFU

What exactly is hooked to the coil plus and minus terminals?

I wish you lived closer, I’d throw a big chunk of beef on the grill and pick your brain for an hour.

As far as I know factory wiring. But some things don’t jive with the wiring diagram I got. I got a black wire with a yellow trace going to the coil +, my diagram says it should be dbl. Negative is dark blue, along with a wire to the sniper that tells it the rpm. Wiring diagram says it should be gry/tracer. My distributor has a blue wire and a grey/blk wire, my diagram shows 1 unlabeled wire. My ballast resistor has a light blue/y and a dbl, wirei g diagram shows only the dbl. it looks factory. It ran fine the 8 yrs I’ve owned it. Ran fine beginning of this year. Just this last month it’s gone downhill.

I do have the snipers trigger wire connected to ign 1 and 2. It needs power both while cranking and running and I didn’t know where else to get it. But like I said, it ran fine for first 6 weeks of this year so I am assuming it was ok.
