Real easy.

First, completely eliminate (remove) the wire from the selonoid to the coil.

Then, (if you're using a stock coil with your electronic rconversion) replace the resistor wire with a standard 12ga wire.

The Unilite can then be wired directly to the coil and grounded to the block.

Worked like a charm.

That may have solved your other issue, but a stock/OEM coil isn't going to like a full 12-volt input for very long; that's why the original feed circuit from the ignition switch to the coil (+) was a resistance wire, to reduce power to the coil to 7-8 volts.
