Drag specialties number 0706-0199

I will be putting the plastic version on the FXSTC.

Well Hell!!!!!!!!!!!!
It cranks but doesn't start.
I have fuel going in from the carb and I have fire at the spark plug.
It is a purple color.
I have tried 2 different ignition modules.

I guess it is time to drag out the OHM meter!!!
Any first thoughts?
