ok got another second gen because theyer fun but its got
some problems, I will explane if you can figure out how I messed up or what I am overlooking please help.
79 with 305 also it was sitting for a long time.

I was getting no spark but I had juce from the battery
so I changed the coil when I got the new one on
it was arcing from the center post of the three wire plug to the positive wire. as far as I know there is nothing to plug into the center post at least nothing has ever been there. I am lost
if you have any ideas it would be great.
thanx

 

Is this a standard HEI "coil-in-cap" type coil we're talking about?

 

'79, yep should be your run of the mill coil in cap dist.
