pull a plug wire off and short it out, unhook your dist.plug and jump it across and if the box is good it will throw a spark if it dont try another coil that way you know if its the coil or the box.

well... i forgot to add i hooked up the ground of the box to the (+) side of the battery. in my defense, it was wired with red wire, not black, so i expected it to be correct.

it comes out of the box black, then turns into a red wire that went to ground. well i grabbed all the red wires and hooked them up to the (+) side. no biggie.
