Thanks for all the advice!

I'm pretty sure all the fuel had evapped from the fuel tank in the 5+ years it was sitting. I tried to run a siphon hose to the tank but with all the turns in the fill line it was impossible. I thumped on the tank and it sounded empty and the gauge doesn't show any gas when I'm trying to crank it.

I put a bottle of alcohol in the tank a few days ago and yesterday I put in a few gallons of fresh gas along with some gas treatment.

I'm going to try to straight wire it today as Jeff suggested and then start tracing voltage with my meter.

I understand there is a resistor somewhere in the line before the coil that I'll need to check.

Thanks again for all the help, I'm going to get this truck running before I change out anything -I hope!

I'll report in again later.

By the way....where would the fuses be located on this Jeep?
