With the key switch in the Off position and connecting a volt meter to the two main battery terminals what voltage are you getting? Should be at least 12v, almost 13v.
Setting the meter to read Ohms, temporarily disconnect the other wires on the ballast resistor and put a meter lead on each of the two ballast resistor terminals. If you're getting infinite Ohms the ballast resistor is 'open', it has no internal connection and will not provide power to the ignition coil. Replace the resistor.
