It looked like it was going to the switch? I will check to see if the plate is grounded. I would not think Bubba would overlook something as important as not grounding the plate.

If you are using the normal Chevy converted distributor, it is a straight single wiring setup.
With a 1.5 ohm coil, it is Ignition switch to the ballast resistor to the (+) terminal on the coil (sometimes labeled BAT). Then from the (-) coil terminal to the points/condenser (distributer). This coil terminal is sometimes labeled Dist.
With a 3.0 ohm coil, it is Ignition switch to the (+) terminal on the coil. Then from the (-) coil terminal to the Distributer.
The only thing that would be different is if the starter solenoid has the two terminals on the front, one of which is the ballast resistor by-pass during start up. If it has that there is a little difference in the wiring.
