Thanks for helping guys.
The ignition system is not connected to any power source. The coil is a TFI coil and the red wire is connected to the B on the module. The green wire is connected to the C on the module. Again, there is no power to the coil at this point. I was isolating the solenoid and starter, so I'm assuming that I could remove the coil and the problem would be the same??
This is the first attempt to start this car, so I don't know whether or not using the points would make a difference.
The only "hot" wire is the one from Battery + to starter. I'm thinking from reading other posts that the problem is that my battery is grounded to the body. It looks like the grounding strap is not large enough to ground the starter and so the excess is travelling to ground through the dizzy ground.
I'm going to try again with grounding the Battery - to the engine block. I would hope that this would make the path of least resistance the 4 guage cable back to the battery and take the load off of the dizzy ground.
What do you guys think about that theory?
