No spark?

Ok I checked out the wiring again and seen he had the brown wire off the ballast going to the + side of the coil and to the voltage regulator. Doesn't that then bypass the ballast? Anyway I took the brown straight from the ballast to the + side of the new coil and it fired up again. I think the way he has it wired to the charging system is the problem. After I got it to fire again I checked the volt gauge it was way up and smoke was rolling from the dash. Like I said in an older post he had a 4 pin box with a 4 pin ballast. I now have the 5 pin box but nothing seems right. Everytime I eliminate the charging system it seems to fire up. Any pictures of were the field connections go? The smoke in the dash and the high gauge have me wondering if that's not the problem and not the ignition system. Like I said it works when I run it without the charging system. Thanks again.
