Progress! looking good. EDIT I'd get the new ECU in & see what happens. Standard Motor Products used to make a good American made parts house ECU but it is made in China now (iirc it is $25).

Lets do this, hook everything back up & hold the coil secondary wire (dist end) 1/4" away from the intake (ground) and with the dist pickup zigzag pull apart connector seperated, drag the male tip end of the body half across the intake surface (ground) & see if the coil wire sparks (do it with key on and with key held to start with the yellow wire terminal pulled off of the "ign" terminal on the starter relay). then reconnect the zigzag connector and remove any and all wires off of the dist neg primary post (might just be the one) and with a jumper wire connected to the coil terminal itself (not to the ring terminal you removed from it), tap tap the other alligator clip on the other end of the jumper to the intake & same thing see if the coil wire sparks (with key on & key held to crank). Holler back.

If the coil sparks it's not the coil, though I did have a coil that would intermittently fail when it got hot, but it failed in either mode. It would work when cooled off. Took awhile to sort it out but I got it.
Eventually you will have to break out a meter and find out what is going on.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

I have a meter and will test the coil and see what the reading says. It was hot when the last time i tried starting it.

Neat tool, What is the gap when it gets to "super"? it would be a "cold" test. EDIT now I see the numbers for the gap

Are you saying it sparks once when you turn the key off ? As it sounded like thats what you were saying at first ? No spark while cranking but a spark when the key is turned off ? I just want to be sure just what it is doing. Ron

I don't use it often, but still a kind of cool thing to have around.
Instructions on it, if you were curious..
Yeah I see the heat setting on it.

I think fouled plugs may make it harder to start, misfiring at all speeds but not a "no-start" condition unless the electrodes are burned off or there are so many deposits in there that no gap remains between the tip and electrode.
