Coil Negative getting power and not starting - Slant six

I have the mopar 4 pin ECU

- which the green cable is not used,
- black cable goes straight to negative side of coil,
- distributor cables goes to Distributor,
- coil positive has the brown cable going to ballast and going to Ignition 2 which is also brown
- blue cable goes in between the V.R, ballast and blue ignition 1 cable .

Im going to have to get another multimeter because the one i have doesn't work. I was just using the test light just to indicate if i have electricity going through certain areas.

as i said both the positive and the negative sides of the coil have power that the test light is bright on either side - same with the ballast

-Distributor pigtails are plugged in the dist. and the ECU but I make sure again just in case

I did tested out another car (1974 Plymouth scamp) just to see if it was doing the same thing. coils negative is off when key is in ON position (engine off) and the brown wire on the ballast is lightly dimmed while the blue wire is bright.


I going to have to do that tomorrow and see if that helps - taking some of the paint off the V.R. and the ECU
