Wiring help, ignition issues

the 2 wires that used to go to the ballast resistor are what powers the red ign hot wire for the msd. the only wires on the coil should be the black and orange from the msd box. is your neutral safety switch hooked up? on the starter relay, (for an auto car) there will be a brown wire at a corner of it that should go to that nss. if not, make a wire and mount the ring terminal end to the mounting screw and the other spade end onto the starter relay. are you using a test light to find power?
