Mallory Install Part 3--No spark Options

[jaybird840]

OK,
On to phase three of the Unilite install. I got the dizzy drive properly indexed and the dizzy set at TDC on #1. I verified by thumb-over-hole and by watching the valves. Now I am getting no spark out of the dizzy. Car ran on 009 dizzy two days ago. Replaced coil with new Bosch blue and installed the Unilite. I have checked and replaced all of the spade terminal ends, so I should have good contacts. From the Unilite, I have the brown wire to engine block ground, the green wire to coil neg (I assume that's the one with the minus sign), and red wire to coil positive (the one marked "15"). I say no spark, because I am getting no flash from a timing light (which worked two days ago, and shows to have power--it's digital). Attached is a pic of the coil. Let me know where to go from here....

I believe You have killed the unit-

Someone else has obviously hooked up your ignition to the wrong sides of the coil in the past, meaning that the coil really doesn't care what side of the coil says it is positive or negative (as they are labeled)

It appears to me that there is a hot, fused 12V INPUT going TO the coil negative side of your coil, where the green wire from the Mallory also leads. Where does that yellow wire go with the fused lead?

What is marked on the coil means nothing with points.

keyed 12V power must come into the coil at the same terminal as the red mallory wire is connected. This is coil (+) no matter what the coil says.

signal must go to the opposite pole with nothing else connecting to this pole except the tachometer lead.

It looks like you have 12V coming in on the pole of the coil that feeds the green wire of the Mallory.

If you do the unit is dead.
