About to put the points dizzy back in :/
If you are using the same yellow wire for positive as went to your coil, that is part of your problem. It is a resistance wire. You have to run a completely new IGN wire to the HEI for it to get enough voltage. Just run it from a key on hot wire. Not real sure how the Accel coil is wired, but for a GM HEI, the coil is powered from the dizzy.
