Just hooked up the light, hopefully to the correct plug on the coil. Since it was suggested to connect to the low power side of the coil, I connected the light to the smaller red wire that comes out of the distributor. That is the low speed coil control according to the factory manual I have...

I will be driving this thing today. I am going to hook up the light to the coil before I go. It has a vacuum gauge on the dash, so I'll keep an eye on that as well.

Well, I give up. After spending the last 12 hours in and under this beast, I have to say I'm beaten. Since my problem appears to be ignition related, I swapped out the ignition control module and the coil with no improvement. $70 down the tubes. Anybody want to buy a really nice 95 Southwind...
