66 Chevy No power to coil? HELP

[wildearp]

I just recently thought HEI Distributor! Would that fix my problem? I think it should but I honestly dont quite know enough about them. Dose anybody have an opinion of points distributor VS HEI Distributor?

The HEI will make consistent power. When running with points, dwell is critical and will change with points wear. Points problems can easily make you think you have a carburetor problem.

The HEI only takes one wire from the ignition to make it work. If you are running a GM internally regulated alternator, and perhaps others, the exciter lead must be connected to the accessory side of your ignition switch. If it is wired to the same point as your coil, a diode must be added to that wire in series. This is to prevent the alternator from keeping the coil powered with the ignition off.

You do NOT need a ballast resistor or wire for a HEI. If you have it, get rid of it.
