i conected the black wire from the dizzy straight to the (-) and then the resistive wire to the (+) and the black and white wire to the (-) aswell that is all that was
OK, REALLY back up. Resistive wire? If you have a "pinkish" wire connected to coil (+) and are trying to use an electronic ignition you have a mismatch of parts and this is simply not going to work.
If you have an OEM electronic ignition you need the OEM electronic ignition type coil. You do not use a sports coil with the factory electronic ignition. If this is an aftermarket electronic ignition, they can generally be used with aftermarket sports coils. Again, pictures and part numbers of what you have will help.
No electronic ignition module (regardless of coil) gets powered through/by the resistive wire. The resistive wire should only be used on "ballast type" ignition coils used on cars with points ignition systems. The problem is the resistive wire drops the operating voltage of the coil. When you connect the ignition module to the coil in this situation, the ignition module also runs at a reduced voltage and is likely to NOT work properly.
Don't give up yet. Tell us more about the two distributors you have and post part numbers and some pictures if you can. You can put something together out of what you have to get a running car... particularly if one of those distributors has points.
