Reply to "71 Pantera spark comes and goes?"

So I'm back working on the ignition issues, here is where I am, I contacted the seller of the distributor, coil, wire set...nothing fancy not a name brand, but he thought I may have a bad coil and he also said do not use a ballast resistor, so here's what I did, eliminated the resistor by installing 2 inline fuses with 10a fuses( I did that so I would not fry something else) replaced the coil using a MSD Blaster 2 coil for electronic ignitions(not points style) I have no spark at all now, testing the wires going to the coil I have red wire to positive + sending 12 volts the blue wire (which used to go to the ballast) that also went to the negative side of coil showing just a very minimal current ( a 12 volt bulb barely glows) so I got nothing and I'm lost...thinking I could just ground negative coil side to battery ground to get fire...will this work? Asking first before I blow this thing up..lol
