You sure that's 12217?
C7VY-12264-A .. Breaker Plate Ground Wire has a black nylon cover over its braided wire, while C1VY-12264-A has just a bare braided wire.
The cover on C7VY: If the wire broke, you couldn't "eye ball" it, you had to peel the cover off, take a look-see.

I am going to pick up my carburetor tomorrow and I should receive my HEI dizzy in 3 days. Once I install the new dizzy and re-install the carburetor and tune it in. if it still wont run right where should I turn? Transmission? I don't know a significant amount about transmissions so please tell me how a transmission could cause this issue.

Yes, I found one on ebay for $149, comes with pigtail to wire it up and comes with some pretty, blue 8.5 mm plug wires. I got the carb back today and adjusted the mixture screws to 1.5 turns out as a starting point and pulled the dizzy and made sure to find TDC once again and dropped it back in. tried to start it up and it just cranked and cranked I checked the points and adjusted them and got it to run but it ran rough like chuga.....chugga clug chug and it died. it would only stay running if I pumped the accelerator. I advanced the dizzy a little and it still ran rough until I accelerated to about 1/2 way and it revved nicely and then died. advanced a small amount more and it fired and then went POW! really loud backfire, I know the timing is correct unless it is just in the dizzy but I have tried moving it little by little and no better than a rev and die. dizzy problem or carb still need adjustment? thanks for all the advice given, it is greatly appreciated!

I want you to know that after installing the new dizzy and small adjustments on the carb, the truck is running Amazing! when I got the truck, I couldn't get good acceleration and I couldn't roast the tires but now oh my god is it mean, cant wait to race my buddy at the dragway. he has a 78 chevy with a bone stock 350 in it that he thinks will out run me. Thanks for all the help.
