I just did a motor trans swap on my 73 that had been sitting for ten years or so. It did have a stock points setup with the resistance wire. Anyway, I deleted the wire for the points coil and ran a 12 gauge into the cab to go to the fuse box. Problem is I have no power source on the fuse box that stays hot while cranking. So I tried to mimic the wiring of the points style and ran an additional wire off the "R" post on the starter. Seems to me thats how it was to begin with, but still no fire. any ideas?
