Any thoughts on this?

Your color codes for the wires don't jive with the Toyota schematic. Some have an insulation sleeve over them, so pull it back and take a peek at the color code.

This picture from an earlier thread on a '78 ignitor may help, but it is wired incorrectly and the correct connections are indicated in writing. The hot wire for the ignitor (black/yellow stripe) also connects to the big black/yellow ignition wire at the ballast resistor, but you can't see it in the picture.
