If it was after labor day and at the Elnora show we would work on it lol
FYI
Just realize all the elec ignition does is replace the mechanical points which close then open the current path from the coils - output to ground. With points the coils - (if Neg ground) wired to the distributors points but for an elec ignition the coils - wires to the elec switch.
With ignition on there should be power to the coils + input (INSURE THAT) so if you remove the coils - output wiring and connect a jumper wire to the coil - instead, each time you momentarily short it to ground but then remove it THE COIL SHOULD FIRE. If so but NOT via the elec ignition and if there's power to the coils + input the switch or wiring has a problem.
If an elec switch ORRRRRRRRRR points are working right if you put a test lamp on the coils - output turn ign on and crank the engine over the light should flash ON (points or switch is open) and OFF (points or switch is closed). If it never comes ON there's a short, the points or wiring or condenser is shorted (or points never open) or coils open or there's no power to the coil, if it never goes OFF the points arent closing or wiring is bad or elec switch is bad.
If it has a magnet that fit over the distributor cam be sure its in place and there's an elec pickup coil where the points were that senses each time the magnet passed by.
HOWEVER I WOULD FIRST CALL THE VENDOR AND ASK THEM also insure power to the coils input with ign on, that has to happen with points or an elec switch.
