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...

Yea It was getting gas it was squrting out of the carb good. I prefilled the bowls with a electric fuel pump and primed all the lines so fuel was good. I tested at the plug wires there is no spark. I turned the the dissy quite a bit at first but it wasn't even trying to hit. I can tell when one is trying to start it will kinda hit off and quit this was not that there was no spark at all. I have one of those plug wire spark plugs lights it plugs into the wire then on the plug I did that and nothing. Guess looking back I should have started there.
