HEI Conversion Done still not starting

"I don't quite understand your description of the wiring and relay?"

The conversion instructions suggested that I use a relay to ensure good power to the HEI

From the Instructions

"You'll want to add a power relay to guarantee full line voltage to the ignition module at all
times."

"#30 is your power input. Connect this via a 14ga wire to a good, solid source of line voltage. Good options for where to pick up this power feed include the battery positive terminal, alternator B+ terminal, large terminal on the starter relay, large terminal on the starter. Put a fuseholder in this wire as close as possible to your power takeoff point. You'll want a 15A fuse, and you'll want to carry spares.
#85 is your trigger ground. Run a 16ga wire from this one to any decent ground.
#86 is your trigger feed. This one needs a 16ga wire that's live when (and only when)
the ignition is switched on.
#87 is your power output. Connect this via a 14ga wire to the coil + and to the module's
power terminal."

So in this set up i connected #86 to the brown wire.

I did jump the Ballast Resistor but only one side (maybe the wrong side? My car has a dual Resistor) I checked at the relay (but not with the wire off the relay) & I had power at #86 with the switch on. That being said I still did not find out where my voltage drop is. I was only reading like 10.8 volts at the Resistor before the change over.

"The can is the radio suppression capacitor (condenser.) You may or may not need it"

I think this is attached to the top of the motor. It has one line attached to the alternator but nothing attached to the other blade. I looked all over for a wire without a home but didn't see one.

I switched the coil to an ACCEL 8140 super stock ignition coil


Thanks Everyone
