Ok...i'll try this, does there seem to be a lot of extra exposed wiring here in this pic? anyone got any answers?? whats with the little white cap next to the coil? electronic ignition? answers anybody?? thanks!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1239768244.jpg

It's very difficult to identify wiring modifications/additions from a photo. That little "white cap" next to the coil could be an added junction or even some sort of relay. Any numbers on it - maybe on the back side? Where do the wires come from/ go to? Is your voltage regulator the correct one?
Also, it looks like the main loom coming to the ignition/senders has been opened-up at some point (melted wires in the past?)
Again, larger//or close-up photos are needed.
