But I'm sort of talking out of the left side of my mouth...

Here is the link to the 6a with the downloadable instructions and here are the relevant parts regarding testing for spark:

Getting doty. I had seen ron's post of the same thing but did it again anyway. Well, if you don't know how to do it by now, you never will. Sorry Ron.

Update: Removed the Ungo Techne 1600 alarm, which was really incredibly embedded--must have taken some time to install, including the little bastard secret switch near the hood release. Anyway, no joy on the spark.

My next step is to re-wire the MSD, suspecting the wiring from the MSD to the coil as the culprit--I checked for spark again using the white wire and nothing.

Anyone have any other bright ideas? Anything silly and stupid I could be overlooking?

Thanks a lot...need to get back in the SC as this little Toyota truck I'm driving is...not so much.
