With all that new stuff, maybe old wiring is bad? You did connect the banded stator and trigger wires to the same switchbox?

Sorry the problem was in the kill circuit, i ran a new wire from The nation to straight to the switch box es, now have fire, But I have ran into a new problem while doing the timing, it's flashing halfway around from zero way off scale, haven't figured out what I have done wrong yet

Sounds like you have the wrong wire from the switchbox, on the #1 coil, or the wrong trigger wire firing the #1 coil. You might recheck all the wiring.

The maxrules web site may have a wiring diagram for you.
