Guys, Jeff has a 302 crate engine with an MSD 6AL ignition.  There is no 
balast resistor that I know of, but then, I didn't wire his car.  It 
sounds like he's not getting 12 volts continous from the ignition switch 
and someone has provided the 6AL with the ignition power from the 
white/blue wire from a solenoid.  It has run in the past and this is a 
new problem, so something has changed.  He was supplied a new starter 
with integral solenoid.  I don't know if the OEM remote solenoid was 
retained or discarded.  It has to have the 12 volt primary to the 6AL, 
or it wouldn't fire at all.  I think the car needs some serious wiring help.
