...I have to power to the white wire on the module in the start position this is the only thing I can find that is wrong, but the motor still cranks over.
One of the wires on your module actually
is supposed to have power during start only. So I'm not sure that it's actually wrong.
What about the other wire? Does it have 12v when the key is just in RUN?
Just out of curiosity (for myself), how many wires in the different plugs, and what colors are they?
Did you test the coil only by direct power testing? This is where you disconnect the "horseshoe" connector, lay the coil's HT lead against the engine where it can jump a spark to ground, apply 12v to the "+" side, and then intermittently grounding and releasing a jumper wire from the "-" side of the coil to a ground?
On a functioning coil, this will produce a healthy spark each time you touch and then release the ground.
Sounds like you've taken the OHM readings on the distributor's new pickup coil?
Have you been able to put a meter on the leads from the distributor while the engine is cranking to see if you're getting a signal from the distributor trigger?
I'm not actually sure how that works, so Viper might be able to walk you through the tests there. I'm just thinking that this is another test you can perform. If you haven't already that is.
Good luck.
