How do I test the control box? I got it new 7 years ago and never had any issues with it. It's the the orange control box and I'm not getting any spark. The coil is fairly new.

You pretty much have to test/elim all but the box & I think O'reillys can test it. it has ran in the past with how you have it wired correct? 4 pin ECU/2 terminal ballast & it wont start so you subbed in the orange box to no avail? pull the yellow wire off of the "ign" terminal on the starter relay to disable the starter & with your VOM see if the coil positive primary terminal & the main feed wire at the ECU are hot (it is the "point" of the pentastar), might be blue/yellow or red. ohm the dist pickup. check the reluctor gap (should be "close" but not touching) & the spec is .008" with a brass feeler gauge. confirm the box is grounded (it usually is but I would check). this'll get us started.
