Note the blue wire crimped together below the ballast resistor. It now runs to the coil. Also this was a conversion from standard points ignition

you may also want to look closely at the blue butt connector that is hooked on the harness "holder" below the voltage regulator.
i can't tell from the pics just exactly what it is connected to, but i have found many, many problems using those type of connections.
a crimp/solder connection using shrink tubing is a better connection in my opinion.

There no problem with current flowing through the connection. However you are right I should change it. The blue wire comes from the factory harness and connects to the coil. It just looks like it may have connected to the resistor and it was changed. Thanks for your help so far

Doesn't the blue wire go to the ecu and not the coil?

It looks like the red wire on the coil positive (I am assuming) terminal is loose (camera distorsion or was the pic taken in the middle of things) or is it (now) tight? How about trying this: Working with the top & bottom (only) terminals on the left ("pass" side like you have it mounted) side of the ballast: (1) run the blue ign1 wire to either top or bottom left terminal & T from that same ballast terminal into the blue/yellow 9 0'clock ECU terminal/wire (2) Connect the "other" (top or bottom left side) downstream ballast terminal out to the coil positive primary terminal (so you are going thru the .5 ohm half of the ballast in "run") and (3) connect the brown ig2 "crank" wire either to the coil positive primary terminal or to the "other" downstream left side ballast terminal mentioned in (2) (whichever is more convenient for you so the ballast is bypassed via the brown wire in ign2 "crank"). You might be able to manipulate/use half of the white connectors to try this without a bunch of rewireing & see how it goes. Do not use the red/green ECU 7 0'clock terminal/pigtail on anything & the 11 0'clock & 2 0'clock ECU terminals for the dist pickup terminals are wired OK if it ain't sputtering from reversed Rotor Phasing when you rev it esp with vac adv which I assume you have & you did not mention so I assume OK there.
