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.............
