Also new red wire from the distributor to the plus side of the coil

Jeff,

This is wrong. Your distributor is not getting full voltage since it is being fed through the resistor wire.

The black/red wire on the coil + bypasses the resistor wire and provides a full 12v only during cranking. When the key is returned to the "run" position, the coil is fed about 9v through the resistor wire AND your IE distributor.

Run a new red wire to the coil +. I snaked mine through the blue sheath. The connection on the fuse box can be to #3, #4 or #12 fuses (they are all linked to the ignition switch). #3 fuse has a vacant male tab on the back, so that is where I connected the red wire in my sketch.

BTW: You can keep all your stock wiring intact. The current will flow through the path of least resistance...e.g. the new red wire.

OK thanks. I’ll try that. Hopefully it will cure my “cutting out” problem…
