Voltage to the coil? If the ballast resistor is breaking up, maybe it's blocking too much voltage, and as a result the coil isn't making strong enough of a spark?

""hooked up my timing light(dial back)""
If you hook up the MSD 6A, then you may need a standard timing light.

Clean the dampener well with lacquer thinner or similar then install the tape going clockwise from the TDC slit then spray the tape with clear lacquer paint to further glue it down & let it dry well. Much easier would be to make another mark with a sharpie 2&1/4" clockwise from the TDC slit which would be 35.5 degrees. You actually only need 1 mark for the total for your particular eng (36-38 for most big blocks) that way you can get by WO a dialback but they are so much fun to play with!. Can cut a strip of paper for a ruler .0632683" long (1 degree) times the # of total degrees you want. Use a 1"-2" micrometer or dial calipers. If your eng is running must be a poor/wrong connection why it wont fire. EDIT meant to say 2"-3" micrometer
