My Pertronix coil came with spade connectors on the posts.  I had to remove one to verify that I had connected it correctly.
After going through the bypass schematic a few more times I realized I had spliced to the wrong end of one of the cut wires (please don't tell anyone; it's embarrassing).  I finally got my splices to hold and it started immediately.
I'm now an expert at the computer test bypass; I've made almost the same mistakes on all of them - all 2.
I moved it around the yard and it did extremely well.  I need to make things a little neater and this project will be finished.  Then I can decide what to do next - with 25 - 30 year old cars there will always be a "next".  If we're lucky we can decide what to do - all too often the Eagle decides what comes next.
I'm right 98% of the time, and I don't care about the other 3%.

I have a couple of threads going with 2 Eagles and different but related issues.  I'm locking the old threads and starting over.  I need to deal with one thing at a time.  I apologize for letting these threads get cross threaded (pun intended).
