Ok, as noted elsewhere, i'm doing the conversion, and the web has been a big help, particularly this: http://goo.gl/VMGfl8 including a GM coil. Not sure it'll fix the problem, but its a good try. Now, on to the issue.
While i was working i found that the + terminal on the coil was fed from a wire spliced into the brown/I terminal on the starter solenoid.
Looking at http://www.mustangsteve.com/conversion.html it appears the wire is unnecessary in the conversion?
Or do i need to feed the new coil from it and not the red wire going to the Duraspark ICM (considering the gunk on the connector, that might be a good idea)?
The victim in question is an 86 Ranger with a carbureted 2.0 I4 in case that makes a difference.
