GREAT NEWS....and bad news...

OK....dgc333's point has really rung a bell for me...When i first got the car, its wiring was modified to run an electronic set up...with a dual ballast resistor (at the time i did not know this, and went ahead and ordered a new year one harness for a a points set up with a single ballast resistor)
the problems started when I changed the motor and once it was in, i put in the new wiring harness i ordered...

I have spent the last week trying to make the car run for longer then 20 minutes without smoking and blowingmy fusable links and yesterday my msd box....i got lucky and got a new one under warranty...

can you explain to me how to properly wire up a points, single ballast resistor wiring harness to run with an electronic distributor and msd 6al ignition...... this has to be my mistake as I have elminated almost everything else....

what info i could really use is , I can bypass the ballast resistor because of the msd, correct?

then which wires from the new harness do I use to run to the voltage regulator ?


as dgc333 mentioned, it may be a bad regulator....or perhaps i dont have my wired properly and the car is running without one.....which is leading to my problems...

THANKS AGAIN
