How are you testing the system out of the car? Are you using an MSD tester, and an distro machine to spin and test? Are you using the same coil wire testing out of the car as you are in the car? Are the pickup wires polarity correct? Did you spark plug wires test good? @Newbomb Turk has a good video on Craptube but I don’t remember his page.

Are you missing something simple. WHAT exactly are you changing when A: distributor in engine, B: distributor out of engine?
Are you cranking the engine USING THE KEY? Have you checked that small red is getting battery power BOTH in the key "run" position and the key "start" position? You MUST jumper the old IGN1 / IGN2 wires together--the run line and the brown bypass circuit--to get battery power in both run and "start."

Tried turning starter with switch and arching at the solenoid. Same results. I'm so confused.

Make sure that has 12 volts in both Start and Run.
Not a fan of the MSD systems and their related problems.
Friend sent me a picture of his spark plugs as his engine is not running quite right.
Told him you need a hotter more powerful spark.
Sent him this Champion Plug picture out of my stock build 360 on the run stand.
Running mopar distributor with HEI conversion and a stock grade E-coil. The 60,000 volt E-coil is used from You Pull It Parts, and still is working 100%.
Some folks like to play around with that Red Stuff, I would rather get onto the next step of things and skip the frustration.
