Re: Help! 1966 chevy wiring!

The wire powering the distributor coil is probably coming from a hot, battery power wire. This means that the coil is energized all the time. Even when the truck is not running.

The power for the distributor coil needs to come from that toggle switch (which is now your ignition switch) instead. I believe this will solve your problem, based on some assumptions I've made.

Trace the wire that powers your coil. Where is it fed from?
