Not getting power to the ignition.

John Collins said

It’s been a busy couple days and now I have the time again to figure this out. I bought volt meter and I have y’all’s wealth of information to draw from here in this thread. Thanks again.


It cranks, but doesn’t tun over Cudamark. Gauges work, No clicking from the starter relay and no power at to the ballast resistor or coil, but the MSD ignition control is getting power.

You need to update your terminology.

"Cranks" and "turns over" means the same thing.........rotating with the starter

"Fires" means coughs, fires, starts to run, may or may run and quit

"Fires and runs" or "runs" is obvious


As above you need to trace and figure why the ignition is evidently not getting power. If you can detail exactly what ignition you have and the part number of the wiring harness "would help". If you have good eyes or a magnifier, some brands of aftermarket harness have the wires marked that is printed with the circuit they feed
