Thanks for clarifying that Mark. Figured that was the case. Also
wondered if there was a possible "negative" off shoot if applying
constant power to the fuel pump.

If there was poor residual fuel pressure, or more importantly, the
fuel pump was really inefficient (worn beyond spec), would the pump
cycle per 1/4 turn of dizzy cause the fuel system to pressurize enough
to cause injectors to spray?

As you and others have suggested, my money is on incorrect plug wiring
but then Steve wasn't asking for bets.      ;)

Neil.
