Wow, almost 6 years! Do you have voltage on one side of the coil with the key in the run position?

Not familiar with Y blocks, but are you familiar with any other engine that uses points? Works pretty much the same.

The resistor pases the power and I can se light is no that bright when test power after resistor don't know If has to see with no spark. Can I run wires direct from battery instead using my old harness how do I do that

The resistor drops the voltage to the dizzy so the lite will be dim if you are looking for 12v. You can supply voltage to the low voltage side of coil,but if you are getting it now, then that is not needed as it comes from the run position of the ignition key.
