Another ignition issue

[Jeff Adams <ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was sitting in traffic last Sunday waiting to get into a cruise-in. 
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?
