    5.7 Hemi stand alone no spark

    I?m new to this Hemi thing and exhausted all my options that I can think of. I swapped a 5.7 out of a Durango into a 1936 Dodge truck. I have the ECU from that vehicle and bought a stand-alone harness. I disabled SKIM, after writing tune, I also wrote SKIM disable for retrofit. It appears the ecu is not making the ground for the coils and if I manually ground the coil while cranking it will spark. I?ve also tried 2 other ecu?s with no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    hptuners is unable to disable skim, even though the switch is there, it does not work.
