318 no start after sitting
Alright the issue's back and plugging the handheld doesn't seem to be working this time. I think that was a fluke.
I check the distributor and when you key the car to "run" there's no voltage going to it. There should be though, right???!!!???
The MSD 6a requires a 12v source when the key's in the run and start.
The distributor is has three wires, ground, red and orange. Ground goes to ground or battery negative, orange goes to the white wire on the 6A to trigger to ignition, and red goes to 12v wired to the key on start and run.
The red wire on the distributor goes to the red wire going to the 6A to trigger it in the run and start positions.
If no voltage there then it wouldn't trigger the 6A to fire the coil thus no spark AND the distributor wouldn't have power. This also would mean that the EFI wouldn't have a tach signal from the 6A and thus wouldn't work.
May be an intermittent ground in the harness or somewhere that's on that side.
