    WHY ARE YOU YELLING?!?

    anyways... how do you know the dizzy isnt getting power? is it just not moving.. or did you use a multimeter and check it?

    i also found the two wires that i cut for the mpfi swap, i seen they had power after i tested them with a test light.....its pins A15 and A13 i think their ground to the main relay and probablly the reason why my fuel pump wasnt comming on
