My Dart Swinger Project!

I have (for the purpose of break in) rental wire from the positive of the battery to a switch and then a wire from the switch to a ballast resistor and then from the ballast resistor to the positive side of the coil...
I didn't read back did you smell gas did you put gas down the carburetor? I know I've said it before but usually a first startup needs a good splash of gas...
Many times while cranking or having someone crank it I've had to turn a distributor quite a bit to get it to fire...
