Re: Engine starting problem.

Yes, what distributor? Your replacement wiring, is probably factory style, therefore it has the step down resistor to go through a ballast to a point type distributor. The second small wire going to the starter solenoid is a redirect for 12v during startup, then resuming 9v when starter not engaged. With an HEI, or breakerless type ignition, you need to remove the resistor and have full battery 12v delivered to the dist. Don't have a clue why you are having underdash wiring issues. Sorry.
