I have done the duraspark conversion to my 1984 2.8L BII. I followed the tech artical provided in the tech area. I installed every thing and attempted to start the truck up but nothing. It cranks but doesn't run, so I pulled a plug to see if I was getting spark. At first there was spark while cranking then I realized that my plug wires were out of order. I corrected this but still nothing. So pulled a plug again and noticed that now there is only spark when I let off the key from cranking. The original wiring was pretty bad and the p.o. had in stalled a resistor for tfi coil. So for now a couple questions:
#1) should I have installed the resistor for the duraspark coil? The new coil didn't come with one and I didn't see anything in the write up about it or maybe I have over looked it.
#2) So now that I'm only getting spark in the run position, does this mean my duraspark modual is fried? I tested for voltage at the connector in the truck and found that there is voltage coming in when cranking and in the run position.
Any thoughts / advise would be appricated.
