I am expecting to finally get my cobra on the street next week, but only if I can get some help with an electrical bug. I'm using a MSD 6AL ignition with MSD distributor amd MSD coil. When the body was off I fired the engine in the chassis and everything seemed to work fine. Now after wiring the car I have no fire to the engine at all with everything hooked up by the book. If I remove all the harness wiring from the coil and just leave the MSD hooked up the engine will crank but not run. It cuts off as soon as I release the switch. I don't have a ballast resistor in the system anywhere and the wiring harness calls for one between the coil and one of the wires. Didn't need it before, do I need it now? As for harness wires, I've one for the tach on the negative side of the coil, the one for the ballast resistor on the positive side and one for something else on the positive side (one of which throws a serious spark when grounded and not hooked to the coil).
Come on guys, if I can't get this fixed I ain't ridin'.
