Adger,

I've tried 3 different distributors,each with their own new cap and rotor, so I believe I've eliminated that possibility. I've also replaced the coil, plug wires, plugs, MSD box, battery, and rerouted and insulated the MSD connectors, double-checking the polarity of each. I appreciate the encouragement and continued support.

Randy,

Thank you for your input.

FED 387,

Thanks for your input. Pulling the engine is the last resort, but I've been considering it.

buzzinhalfdozen,

I believe that I've eliminated the "insufficient voltage to the ignition system" by installing the HEI with a single wire direct to the battery. However, this does still leave the door open to a possible ground issue elsewhere in the vehicle. I've also tried a second carb, eliminating that possibility. The new switches are definitely on my list of things to eliminate. Perhaps I'll disconnect them, and hardwire the components one by one. Thank you for your input.

-Ben
