1966 chevy c10 HELP!
 

Im having the worst problems with my 66 chevy c10. it has a 350 small block with an hei distrib. i am so lost on this thing. i went to put a push button in a while back with a toogle switch to turn on my acc etc and then push and then start. then i took a couple plug wires off for another truck. got some new ones today. those are all good.it sat for a while i put some gas straight into the carb to see if it would fire. nothing :(. im not sure if its a wiring problem.i did take the starter off and then i took the plug off the fire wall. it only has like 3 wires? i has a purple and a red and a white black looking one. and then theres like a couplke green but there for temp gauge i think?. so the green ones are snipped. ever since i took the starter off with the firewall plug. everything is down hill from there.:/. i need some serious help. i know quite a bit of mechanic stuff but wiring totally messes with my head hahaha. im am debating on calling a mechanic but i am not that kind of person. if you know what i mean! well i do need help a.s.a.p!. the wires that are on the firewall plug are red,purple and white.( then the green ones) do any of thosee plug into the HEI distributor? and do u think that the rotor inside the hei is no good? i have no clue. thanks for all replys! :)

Have you Checked for 12v+ power at the coil when everything is on?

Yeah, I agree with Joe. You're going to have to get out the digital multimeter and test to see if you're getting power to the coil with your key on.
