[Healeys] Starter Problem now an ignition problem!!

The white with black is just a anti theft thing, it shorts the ignition 
when you shut off the electricity with the battery switch in the boot.
The ignition switch is nothing fancy, it's just a switch although 
operated by a removable key. In your case it sounds that the white with 
black is what powers the ignition, regardless of the state of the 
ignition switch.
Do you happen to have 12 volt on the white with black wire at the coil 
when the ignition switch is in the off position?
