68 dart 318 troubleshooting challenge

yes, that is a great point.

I have the wiring diagram for it with the firing order and plug locations, as well as the intake has the dist rotating direction, firing order, and plug location on it. #1 cyl... front drivers side.

here is what I have done latest:

got to thinking I may have screwed something up by welding on the dash with the battery hooked up. (Duh)

I had replaced the corroded ground wire at the back of the block(to the firewall), but I did not have a very heavy guage wire, so the one I installed was smaller, and the connections weren't that great, so last night I bought a battery cable and replaced that ground with it....

I was just about to start the process again (verify spark from coil, verify spark from dist, verify spark thru plug, etc,) when I fried the starter solenoid.

I'm going to be out of town on business for a few days, and I'm going to put a mini starter (for headers later, hey I'm optimistic) when I get back, and keep troubleshooting.
