While you have the engine hatch open, check the wiring on the coil.

On the + side, you should only have the purple resistor wire, and a purple/yellow from the starter.
On the - side, you should have a gray wire for the tach, and a black wire from the distributor. The OEM harness a white/green wire is spliced into the gray wire and goes to the shift interrupt switch.
