Smoked HEI coil.
An update. Picked up a new coil from Napa. Put it in car. Checked from negative side to ground with key off, reads open. Hooked everything up . Turned key on, voltmeter read 12 volts. Turned over and fired right up. Checked if getting hot and seemed fine, more heat from headers than anything. May need to relocate. Took around block. Ran fine.
Guy at Napa said there should be a resistor on it, only needs 9 volts when running. I thought hei wanted 12volt all the time or is that just the module?
The original coil is one of those cheap ebay ones. Looked pretty cheap compared to new one. So maybe it just was ready to go and the grounded tach helped it along
