Ended up throwing it back together. After the ignitor in the distributor going bad and being replaced, and trying this, that and the other thing, I got it running. I had a spark plug tester in line on a plug. I noticed it stopped lighting immediately when i released the trigger on my remote starter. My forklift doesnt have an ignition switch, so i was using a remote starter trigger switch. I had a wire that allows the coil to fire on the wrong side of the remote start.

It is possible that all of the things i have done in conjunction with figuring out the wiring issue culminated in this momentous occassion. Thanks for all of the help.
