HEI ignition troubles

I don't know. I dislike "throwing parts" at a problem but it might be time. You don't have a spare dist you can substitute? You don't even need to install it, just connect it and finger spin the shaft

Coils do not need to be grounded. The connections are all done by the two primary terminals and the high voltage tower. Secondary (high voltage) is internally connected to the primary, so it grounds through that

You may be right

I started this HEI conversion with the idea that it would be a cheep-ish solution to my irregular ignition problems I was having with the Mopar electronic ignition

Come to think of it the only part I didn't change out this whole time was the distributor....

I did change the pickup coil in the distributor bit not the dizzy it's self..... It's there anything else that can fail in the dizzy if it's still turning and the gap is set right for the pickup coil???

Honestly if I could just get it running consistently enough to feel confident to drive across my little town of 5000 people I'd be happy

I've been fighting this ignition issue losing interest and regaining it back and forth for two years now

Once again I want to thank you sir for all your help I don't have many people I know to turn to for these kinds of issues and I appreciate it very much!
