2 barrel , 4 barrel, whose got the answer?

did all that, got a “new” old mopar single pickup. yes the service book said to do what you suggest. had 11.5 on pos side of coil, whether run or start. if i take a wire from battery to plus coil it will start great. i can take the wire off (switch) after starting and continues to run, no problem. changed coil, chaanged pickup modules, dist cap, wires rotor, starter bypass, everything other than lean burn computer (if you want to call it that). and thruout all this i had no power, bad mileage. without that bypass wire i put on engine cranks great, almost starts (know what i mean) but…. i dont want to be somewhere and have to trailer it home, gets expensiv e (already done that once)
ill be weiring this from the starter relay i beleive. 4 wires if i remember. and i only went thru all this cause another fellow on a different forum said what you are saying. you need to find out why. when i went thru all this he then agreed that i had wasted time and money (3 months and over 250 in parts)
