Hello, I got my FI problem solved today...I missed the hot pickup for the FI. Now that it is on, it fired right up. I let it run fast for awhile 300 rpms or so...........then i broke out the timing light. I hooked the positive wire for the timing light to the positive side of the coil, and the van started to run faster...then al of a sudden died and will not start or even catch again. Starter keeps on turning over though. I had pertronix ignition..was that enough to fry it? I guess further testing tomorrow will answer that.............
