i had a coil wired to a points distributor. i have a msd hei distributor off of my 350. it does not fit. i really want to get rid of the coil system. my coil is wired to my ignition along with the electric choke from the carb with new wire. the - on the coil is wired to the distributor. i put all new spark plug wires and spark plugs on the engine and a new coil wire. i even tried running a wire to my fuse box on the ignition fuse. it was no different. i pulled the coil wire off the distributor and put a spark plug in it grounded to the block. took a wire to the + side of the coil and got a spark off the battery directly. the spark plug did not spark. it is a new coil. just tired of being hung up on this mess. the coil is wired to my pink wire coming off my ignition.
