Jim,


And the car is a ______?


I presume you are referring to the primary wire to the coil.  It should be hot
when the key is on, but, it will only be grounded when the key is off if the
points are closed.  If the points are open, you'll have an open circuit.


Either you have a spook in the wiring, or the ignition switch is not as good
as you think it is.  I suspect the switch behaves differently when hot than
cold.  I don't know whether the ballast resistor could come into play here.


Gary

Sorry if this is second post never saw the first one.




Just put motor back in. It starts runs great but can't turn it off. Checked
all grounds and ignition switch all good. The wire to coil checks out good
itbs hot when key is on and grounded when key is off. But when car is
running you turn off key it says hot. Any help appreciated.
