Hei woes

I'm wondering if you forgot the coil bypass circuit when you did the resistor bypass. Put your meter/ lamp on coil +

That terminal is also what should be supplying 12V to the module. Make sure it has 12V BOTH in "run" and "start" positions of the key

On a side note, I have one of these wired up in a box with a coil. I built it to carry as "spare ignition" but I've also used it to test fire several junk engines. You plug in the dist, hookup the ground clip and battery power clip, and hook up the coil high voltage wire, and you have IGNITION!!
