If you have a spare dist in your stash (from any eng) plug it in and spin it by hand (in it's direction of rotation) w key on as a helper holds the coil wire 1/4" from ground and see if it sparks. take off the yellow "ign" wire from the starter relay on the fender to disable the starter and have a 3rd helper hold the key to "start" as you spin it again & see if you get a spark in start mode. On the reluctor gap, teeth can vary slightly in length so check each of the 8 reluctor teeth, their distance to the magnet and find the one one that sticks out the most (least gap) then w a Mityvac or similar vac pump pull the vac adv thru it's travel and find the point where the gap is the smallest and set the gap to .006"/lock the screw/recheck the gap (for .006") & that part (the gap) is done assuming the ohms part isn't way out of whack but k.i.s.s. Holler when you solve it (in this thread )
