little nuisance

I have put a new cam in my 400 motor recently. Now when I drive it for a while and turn the truck off it won't start back up. It acts like the coil isn't getting any spark.(just turns over with no fire) The only way I can get it to start is to replace that little condensor on the negative side of the coil. I have rebuilt 400s and 351ms numerous times and never have run into this problem before.

You might want to recheck your timing.

Do you have a Ballast Resistor or a Resistor wire on the + side of the coil?

All I have on the pos. side of the coil is the tach wire and one more wire. So I imagine that I have a Resistor wire.
