      Where did you make changes?

      go back over your connections....did you change the yellow R wire from your starter? Did you replace the white fiber covered wire from your bulk connecter to your coil? I assume its a 68 camaro

      What was it? I am always curious to know what fixes problems, its the only way to have a database of working knowledge for others. I know from experience how simple and easy an electrical problem can be to fix but finding them is the whole battle for any of us.

      ya it kinda was the last place i would have guessed turns out the last owner had a wire on the coil that i swore went no where and then of course when i was all done, all she did was crank, but the main probably was that there was no power going to the coil at cranking so i found a wire that had never even been connected to anything before and hooked it up to this nasty splice the owner had put into the ignition and walla but man does this wiring really kinda scare me now lol was very nervous about the fix but everything checked out ok
