Jeff, the blue wire main ignition feed from engine harness, that attaches to the ballast resistor (gets power when key is in on position). on my car, that wire was folded up in the engine harness and because of that fold, after 40 or so years, failed to deliver power. (my car started to miss, and then would not start). I had a friend help me using one of those cheap circuit testers probes with the light on it. anyway, colors may be different, but check the wires first their easy to replace.

The Polara was running about 210 degrees and started to miss. I barely got it off the road before it died. Restarted once, then no spark. I assumed it was the orange box (whole ignition was new 2 years ago) I did the GM HEI conversion, still no spark, so I thought maybe it was the distributor. The whole system was from Jegs as a set, distributor, harness, resistor, and orange box, probably Proform. I swapped in an old distributor, still no spark. I made sure the HEI was grounded. I'm not very proficient at electronics, so I'm kinda at a loss as to what to do next. How does power flow... from the car's harness through the coil first? Coil is a 2 month old Accel. Any suggestions? Jeff Adams 64 Polara ---- Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
