If I'm reading thing correctly Per the install Manual When the Tab on the Ignition module is grounded = IGNITION OFF When the Tab on the Ignition module is OPEN = IGNITION ON according to my handy dandy meter the Tab on the ignition module shows continuity to ground with no wire on the tab. Something isn't registering in my old noggin here Any Help????

About 0.8 to 1 ohm between the bare ground tab and the iron core which is the metal bit that sticks out at each end of the coil housing, see page 57 of the Jabiru manual solid lifter. (I'm not sure what page on the hydraulic version). If all you test is continuity, you will certainly get that as you discover that the tab is electrically connected to the winding and as such finds it's way back to ground.
