it's hard to tell what you have going where cause the wire colors your listing , I'm having to guess which are the box and which are the dizzy that you have,
on the box there is a 2 prong connector, the red goes to switched 12 v, I didn't even use the white, AND yes I know it's to be wired to ignition to a resistance wire, but not necessary, mine works fine as well have others I've done, anyway the 4 prong connector on the box there is green, orange , purple and black, GREEN goes to neg side of coil, switched 12v to pos side of coil ........ now on reman dizzys the color coding has changed a little........., but there should still be a black wire on dizzy and on box.....= black to black now what are the other two colors left over on yout box and on your dizzy??

my 66 had that color coding on the dizzy but I SOLD IT RECENTly so I can't remember which one went where but if I had to guess....black with red went to purple and black/pink to orange, but don't quote me, and if swapping didn't work, then if you used the wrong coil as I said it may have shorted out the box, are all these new parts your working with??

ok so i took the control module to autozone and they tested it bad but the guy said that sine the wire were cut (by previous owner) that it might not be making good connection to the tester
