      MSD 6AL, Blaster II Coil, Pro-Billet Dist. - No spark????

      I just want to get a sanity check on my issues here. As listed in the title I have the following components on a small block Chevy.

      MSD:
      6AL
      Blaster II Coil
      Pro-Billet Distributor

      They are wired as such.

      MSD 6AL -
      large red wire to battery positive
      large black wire to battery negative
      small red wire - to key on accy source

      orange wire to coil positive
      black wire to coil negative

      purple and green wire with plug-end is connected to the magnetic pickup plug on the distributor

      I've had the engine running in the bare chassis with this exact wiring configuration, but now that I've wired the entire truck and I'm trying to start it...........well - - - it no worky!!!! ;)

      What I've tested - -

      Positive power feed to 6AL box - good
      power feed from 6AL to coil - - Not Good....this should have power when the key in the "On" position correct? It does not.

      If I test the coil power while cranking I get a slight voltage reading, but nothing significant (< 1V). This leads me to believe that my 6AL box is bad. Does anyone else have any other suggestions.

      I'm hoping that someone chimes in and tells me that I'm an idiot and I forgot to do "XXXXXX" and that will fix my problems. If not, I guess I'll pick up another 6AL and give it a try.

      Thanks in advance for any help.
