No Spark
So I replaced the distributor and rotor the evening. It sounded like it wanted to start for a second or two and then nothing. Looking closer at the two caps it seems like they might have different # 1 poles. The first pic is the new cap, it looks like the #1 pole is right above my thumb for clockwise rotation. The second pic is the old cap and the #1 pole is just to the left of the clip. I rearranged the plugs to correspond accordingly, again it sounded about to fire for a second then nothing. I have a new MSD master blaster coil on order for Wed. pick-up, as I am concerned the stock coil is not powerful enough. So my questions now:
1. How should the plug wires be arranged on the cap?
2. Replacing the MSD coil with a new MSD should eliminate that variable (a statement, I know)
3. How do I measure the reluctor gap, still not clear on that as it sits inside the cap?
4. Anything else????
I really enjoy using this car and it irritates me when it's down.
