electrical help...

I'm having trouble with the white cloth wire. The main power wire from the harness to the coil. I thought it was my electric choke, I had it set up wrong. I fixed that and it still fries up. It seems like there's no power going to the distributor. I thought I put all the wires back the same I pulled. I got it going before I pulled the motor to put on some "accesories", now it won't start and frys that wire. Any suggestions? could it be i'm not grounded properly?

Somehow you are grounding the ignition wire, (shorting it). How do you have the starter solenoid hooked up?

Should be purple to inside and yellow to outside. Just a thought since you pulled the engine.
