i have got rid of some of the problems ... the vacumn advance on the dizzy was only hooked up to one cylinder (not sure if its meant to be like that on the 18rg's) i d/c'd that and brought the timing up and it seems to be running alot better now but still not sure about the burning out of coils.. i guess the next few days will tell...
the resister is wired up the right way. the wire isnt broken(if it was broken it'd only run when you are on start and not on)
so will see what happends after i have taken the vacumn advance off... cause it was retarding alot on 3 cylinders and advancing on only 1st cylinder.. it idles alot better and runs alot smoother as well. and has a bit more power. but yeah will see how the coil go's int he next few days.
les you might be having starting problems because of the timing like what i just said but then again it is just a guess.
M.W.B that makes sence.. so if the coil burns out you think it might be the resister?
