Did it ever start for you or is this an ongoing problem? Year? Coil and points distributor or HEI. A little more information would sure help.

Measure the voltage to ground at the solenoid S-terminal with the key in the start position.

Re: Need electrical advice

Found my issue, after some more running and chasing wires under the dash, I was following the purple wire and found the neutral safety jumper missing. it must have come loose and got kicked out, after locating it under the Burban on the shop floor reinstalled it back in business. thanx for all the suggestions and what to look for ...
