Messy yes but not done. Ill make it look better once I get it running properly.
LOL the 2nd leading coil (MSD) isnt even bolted down, just zip tied it and called it good.
I used 2nd gen spark plug wires so i location would not be a problem.
I am going to go back and use shrink tube. I dont mind, i have a lot of electrical material.
this is just a close up of the trailing coil and the unused leading coil. The wire on the leading coil is only used for ignition (I think).
I dunno if you can see but each coil has a positive wire attached to it. This is what im talking about being my problem. The leadinc oil has a constant 12v source and this is why my car would stay on when i turned the key off and took the key out.
So i tried disconnecting this wire from the pos side of the old leading coil and now my car shuts off. What I need to check is if a smaller wire was part of the same connect as the one i disconnected.
I just got a hold of a nice camera so more pic's to come.

Because you said, you used the + terminal of the old leading coil to use for your switch... so i connected it.
the old trailing coil (left) is still my trailing coil so it has a power from relay and 2 wires going to HEI igniters.
thats the part I was trying to ask you, what did u have hooked up to your old leading coil?

I didn't touch the old trailing coil.
I took the coil wire from the old leading coil to the distributor cap off and taped over the hole in the coil with electrical tape.
I pulled a 12 V ignition source from the old leading coil to the 12 V relay.
Everything else for leading ignition was new.
Wire from battery + terminal to 30 amp fuse.
Wire from fuse to input side of 12 V relay.
Wire from output side of 12 V relay to new leading ignition as per Jeff20B's diagram.
Wire from 12 V relay to ground.
Rest of leading new ignition install as per Jeff20B's diagram.
