Check the reluctor gap inside the distributor, if too wide the MSD box will not fire the coil..

Just my $0.00..



How do I do that?



OK..
Here U go.
1. Pop off the distributor cap
2. Pull cap back so U can look down inside
3. U will see the magnetic pickup and reluctor piece (on center shaft)
4. The reluctor will have raised parts that point outward
5. As the distributor turns the raised part passes by the pickup, this what makes/break the contacts which fires ECU box/coil
6. Rotate the distributor so that raised part is facing the pickup, the clearance gap should be no more than 0.006"-.008"
If this is too wide the pickup will NOT switch (make/break)..

The pickup is a simple passive switch and we often find the gap is too wide, very common in cold climates. The gap should be set by a brass feeler guage but if not available a thicker business card can work, just be sure to check the distributor for adequate clearnace by rotating the engine completely.
