I may take you up on that, but I want to get working parts before I start stringing them together. There's a solid chance based on the advice here and my independent reading/researching that I have **** strung together that doesn't belong there. Ex: if I have electronic ignition and not points, why do I have a ballast resistor in the mix? I just received a new cap, plug wires, and coil - but turns out I got a coil with oil and not silicone (it sits sideways). I know the traditional route is to find the "thing" that failed. But I can't trust the work the mechanic did on this so something else is likely to fail soon too. So I'm replacing the whole damn thing with the right quality parts that belong there.
