Any thoughts on this engine issue

Me and Al will try this next week. Might be tough to do since the battery is in the trunk.... Can I pull the red wire off of the starter relay and hook that to the ceramic ballast?? Which side of the ceramic ballast does it get hooked to?

I had a problem one time where one of the connectors on the ballast was upside down causing a very weak spark and big misfire . check to make sure the ballast connectors are on correctly. they have locating pins on them. i had one that was broke and it was on upside down and the car started but wouldnt run worth a crap
