I had the same problem on my 71 which led me to rewriting either everything new rather than troubleshoot this 500 time. Use an ohm meter between the coil wires or the igniter wires on the plugs on both ends of the wires. If those pass then do the same on the other end of the connector that goes to the actual source/switch. (Yes the explanation is truncated. Another thing I do is wiggle the wire I am testing. Anything more that a 5ohm resistance change says you have a wire that is either shorting out or given the year and lack of fire the wire has broken internally and again I skipped everything between my reply and your initial post but the first wire I would check is the trigger that goes to the coil since usually a power wire just catches fire when it shorts be it internally or externally. Hope you got it fixed. By ‘rewriting either’ I meant rewiring. Auto text FTW. Quote Link to comment
