HEI Upgrade but No Spark (kinda)

So time for some updates.
First in reply to 67Dart273-when I first picked up the Toad I went searching for slant 6 forums and found slantsix.org first.
Later on I arrived here and find much more traffic here despite the lack of 60-62 A-body info.
I started delving into the technical discussions since I really had no idea what I had or what I was missing once I dragged it home.
One of the first things I looked into was upgrades especially with more readily available parts like the GM HEI upgrade.
So I first followed the instructions here...HEI Electronic Ignition Retrofit How-To - Slant Six Forum
I already had most of the parts required in my parts stash it went pretty quick. But the diagram I posted earlier that gave me cause for concern was the root cause of the no spark. So I referenced the pics that were posted in this thread (and confirmed elsewhere) and re-wired the electrical-coil to HEI and distributor.
Tossed in the battery, lined up TDC and confirmed the firing order and hooked up a timing light (no fuel) and cranked it over. Success! Nice flashing spark as it turns over. Really quite a simple fix but because I swore by that first diagram I assumed the problem was components not wiring.
Now time to fill the cooling system, run a fuel line to a jerry can and see if I can get a steady idle. Once I get to that point I will look at setting up my kit bash distributor or pick up one here.
