HEI ignition troubles

I don't know. I'm beginning to wonder if some HEI modules and by that I mean different actual manufacturers OR variance in quality control------is some aren't more demanding in trigger levels (the distributor pickup) I just don't know.

That could be the case

Like I said I'm not very talented when it comes to electronics so pardon my ignorance when I may not seem to know too much

That's why I kind of followed the exact Module and coil slant6dan had in that post

It could be my dizzy is not compatible with the parts I selected

My real question is why does it run so well after the "c" terminal gets jumped to ground and then won't start at all until you do it again?

Obviously i can't leave it/ drive it that way but I can't explain why that makes it run
