Scott, there's a grounding wire off of the fusebox. It is a short wire that runs to the top area of the inner fender. That has to have a good ground or your injectors won't work. Don't leave the ignition on for long periods of time or you will burn out that resistor. Also check that wire that runs from the starter over the clutch cover to your distributer. Try turning your distributer so your points are fully closed. With the key on, manually open the ignition points to check for spark. If not, try changing the condensor. If you are wondering if your distributor may be 180 off, it would start with starter fluid if it was...and actually run.Don't mess around with the injection stuff until you've got a strong spark and you get it to start with starting fluid. There were some awsome Djet postings on the old 99 board(lumped in with the other vintage models) posted by myself and others going through the proper Djet sequences. They may still show up on the vintage board. Post another update when you have good ignition spark. best of luck.
