YesNo that dont look right
You would have to jump from connector to connector.
No jumper in the same connector
Did you change out the coil?
I put a msd ready to run distributorOnly do the bypass if you've changed to a non-Mopar ignition!
Thank you very much a picture says everything
Just read this so does this mean I don't need ballast I'm having trouble starting 360 727 8 3/4 swap first start up I too have a ready to run distributor and coil and can't get it to run correctly shoots fire out of carbOh just refer to image.

Thank you I will try all of itRefer to the destructions with your new system. Some need a ballast and some do not. I cannot tell what you are doing with the relay.
To answer your question, to actually bypass the ballast on the old 2 pin ballast, all you need is a one-wire jumper between the original connectors. If however you are NOT connecting to the original coil+ wire, you will not be getting power during cranking likely
So far as "shooting fire" you have the distributor installed 1/2 turn out referred to as "180 degrees off"
To properly find the firing stroke,
Remove no1 plug. Bump engine around while holding your finger in the no1 hole. You may have to 'go round' a couple times to "get" this. When you START to feel compression, stop and look for the timing marks, then continue to "bump" or wrench the engine until the timiing marks align either with TDC or set them "about where" you want the timing, AKA 8-10 BTC or so
No install the dist, and make sure the dist. body has plenty of movement to adjust. Put no1 wire in making certain it is on the cap tower where the rotor is pointing. Install rest of wires and set timing
Getting ready for the
"What the he'll is wrong with my ignition?" thread. Lol
