I have a 302 Ford on an older Mercruiser that had an electronic distributor installed. The problem I have is that it won't run. I got a new coil and according to what I have read, a ballast resistor is not needed. The distributor has two wires coming out of the onboard module within the distributor. My question is; what is a very simple wiring so I can see if I can get the engine running before trying to figure out what else might be wrong. I have 12 volts on one wire from the key and can eliminate the resistor wire and just feed 12 volts on it to the plus on the coil. Now, what should I do from the distributor and negative on the coil? Thanks to anyone that can help on this.
