ignition starting problem

hi,

I took the ignition off my dart to fix some leaks associated with the intake manifold. I put it back on and now i am having an issue with it starting.

first some info:

- I have a Davis Unified Ignition Chrysler Tri-power system (electronic distributor, no ballast resistor)

- With the ignition switch "on" there is about 12 volts on both the positive and negative sides of the coil, as well as the wire to the distributor

- With the ignitioin switch in the "start" position, there is NO power to the coil.

- It will start sometimes, but it starts when i let off of the key, because the engine is still spinning and it gets power once the ignition is back to the "on" position.

- when i first installed the ignition, i got info from here on how to bypass the ballast resistor and the old mopar electronic ignition module.


I wanted to add some edited wiring diagrams to show what i did, but paint won't read the file of the diagram i have. so i will attatch a stock diagram and explain best i can of what i did.


- The stock diagram is set up for points and condensor, so it never had the electronic module i removed in it, but i have traced wires and looked at the diagram and they are the same on the diagram as on my car.

What i origionally did:

- i cut the ballast resistor out, and connected
DK Blue-Tr, DK Blue, and the wire coming out of the alternator regulator that the color is not labled, but appears to be another DK Blue, or Violet.

These were then connected to Brown, which was connected to the DK Blue that feeds the positive side of the coil

It started and ran fine like this, although the wiring I did was in a hurry and poorly done.

- having some trouble getting spark yesterday morning, i took this connection apart and was going to rewire it.

- The best way i thought i could rewire it was to put a connector with a loop on the end of all 5 wires and put a bolt through them to connect them.

- So now all 5 wires are connect together in the same spot.

- I remembered tonight that i read somewhere (don't remember where) that with the origional system when the ignition switch is "on" the power went through the resistor to cut it to 12 volts, but when it was in "start" it bypassed the resistor and gave the coil full voltage for starting.

- Maybe what i changed with my wiring did something and that is why i don't have power when the switch is at "start", but i do have power when it is "on"??

I am still learning about these electrical systems and the most experience i have is with this car. I know someone knows these better than i do!

Sorry about the post being long, but i wanted to be good and thorough. however i'm sure i missed something.

Here is the wiring diagram:
