check volts both ends of resistor during crank analog meter is best . number does not matter just you have volts 8-12
then check wire between coil and distributor , during crank , you should see V move up and down ( why analog meter) ( assumes you had volts at R )
Stays down , = short in distributor , stays Up points are not closing or broken wire inside . Dual point wiring is tight sometimes covering falls off . never put a ball of tape on it, it has to move
None of this is in dash wiring except ignition switch , if no volts on R , during crank, issue not on engine
Wire off ? also check yellow wire and others at start relay , that is near where you worked
Chrysler shuts down other loads on ign at crank / start , by various ways — then powers coil and R (only ) as you crank .
one way is via extra wire on ignition switch hot during crank; other way is a contact on start relay goes live , both go to coil end of R
i do not know which is in your car , but logic of this can fool you
hope this helps

Installed the rebuilt steering box and all the stuff I removed. ( including the speed control….that was fun!)

Battery charged, key on pusha de button… cranks nice.. no start. Got the trusty ohm-V meter out and got to testin. Resister good, coil good but tried a spare as well… zero spark.
Best I can tell, no ignition system wiring is involved in the steering column ( unless you tell me different!) Horn & directionals working.
Before I climb into the rats nest of wiring under the dash… plz tell me what I’m missing. This is my second ever MOPAR…. All GM up till now…
HELP!!🙏🏻
