Hey 69383RR. I noticed you said something about not running in the crank postition. Did you check your ballast resistor on the firewall? The purpose of that is to limit (lower) the voltage to the ignition system, while the engine is running. While the engine is cranking to start, the voltage from the battery to crank the strater motor drops as it is a very large load. In the crank position, battery voltage is fed through the ignition switch bypassing the ballast resistor and to coil for more voltage for faster, better ignition starts. Check the wire from the ignition switch to the ballast resistor and don't forget the connection at the firewall. This is some times referred to the "Ignition 2" or "Hot While Cranking". Of course, if you have an aftermarket ignition, that may be different but I think it would be similar. According to the FSM. the Q terminal at the firewall is the brown wire and the "hot while cranking" wire. The other terminal on the ballast resistor appears to be the dark blue wire and goes to the N terminal at the firewall try putting a test light or voltmeter red or hot probe on each side of the balllast resistor. It should have a higher voltage on one side by a couple volts. The higher of the 2 should be the one that goes to the coil. It still could be the ignition switch but check your connections first. I hope this helps.
