Default New Guy from Texas

Well been reading all the forum info for the last 4 years will working on my own 68 project. Now down to areas that I have not the talent to do.

Hello all, Restoring 1968 coupe, almost done now after 4 year plan and down to having wiring problems I think. Took car apart and saved as much as I could, but did replace all wiring but the TI harness. Well car was running OK while in garage with a HEI (breaking end motor) while I continued working (restoring) car on a Pour Boy Budget and just last week planned and started placing the TI parts back into car. Almost done.

Well looking for some help, cannot get a spark. When thru everything three times now and not power from module to coil. Have voltage to module on both lines to it but nothing on black to white pos wire to coil. Last week working with a very good Mech decided to replace inner module and today after installation NADA,

Now iI did cut and seperate the new harness as to the old one seperating the two wires that would go to the coil. Yellow to connector to dist, and white / red off line. Checked all my grounds (forgot motor to frame but added it too now) and still not no power to coil. From the Forum read many situations and tried many fut still nothing.

Hoping that someone may have incountered this before and may have an answer, anyway great to be on line and hope to one day maybe help someone else. After going thru this 68 have some info on these.
