Literally a 'starter motor' 200

There is a wire hooked to your starter solenoid that provides 12 volts
direct to the coil to bypass the ballast resistor while cranking.
I believe the wire is brown and has a 3/16" connector, smaller than
most. Unhook this wire and see if it still fires. If it doesn't,
the problem lies around the ignition ballast resistor.

If it does, it may be a timing issue, like firing 360 crankshaft degrees
off (between exhaust and intake rather than on compression).
To test this, move your spark plug wires around the distributor 2 positions
in either direction. (straight across from where they are now)
