Test light, ground the clamp, hook the probe up to coil negative post...Leave the coil hooked up.. Wish I was closer..


ok...but the test light was the last thing I tried.

I was so sure it was the coil, so that was what I did first.

that didn't work, so I had my wife crank with a spark plug pulled, looking for spark. it's either so weak it can't be seen, or not there.

changed the orange box, with the old one from the cuda that worked when I pulled it apart 4 years ago, and still no spark at the spark plug. and I had a jumper from the strap of the plug straight to the battery to ensure good ground there as well...

I'll give the light a shot, but...at this point, I don't know what could be the problem.

the gap at reluctor? ...the magnet and star wheel inside the distributor...is very tight, I didn't measure it but it looks like it's less than the thickness of a sheet of notebook paper.

I don't get it!

if I get a few minutes after dinner, I'll re-try the test light with the coil hooked up properly.
