Are you giving up on your e-Fire?

that makes sense to me as the positive battery terminal on my cars with more modern (modern is relative here) coils runs from the positive battery post to the ignition switch and then to the positive terminal on the coil, then out the negative terminal of the coil and finally to the distributor and then usually grounded to the negative terminal of the battery via the distributor body and finally through the engine block.
good question on the E-Fire BTW...haven't given up. quite to the contrary as i plan on trying again and with some confidence this time, as i think i may have found the reason as to why i couldn't get the E-Fire to produce any spark at all. but i've just GOT to isolate this massive misfiring that's slowly increasing as the engine comes up to temperature. (see my new thread on the ballast resistor topic for details on why i have some confidence and will eventually attempt another installation, and maybe very soon indeed).
