Cinnamon 75 Duster \
So Ray showed up this morning with another distributor, his meter and a 'let's git er done attitude. lol.
We went through a lot of what I already tried/thought etc. Put the distrib in that he brought along. Still nothing. At one point we had two distribs each making excellent spark from the coil tower by spinning them out of the motor with just the reluctor pickup wire connected. But neither would produce a spark when installed. :BangHead:
This went on for quite a while... Till at some point we got a spark with one installed. Got the timing set and took a ride. Ran great. I have started it several times since and probably ran it 20+ miles in a few short test drives. At this point really don't know what the problem was. Our best guess is the controller started working when it warmed up a little? But that doesn't explain why we had spark turning it out of the engine and not when installed on multiple attempts. Another possible is an open in the wire and we were getting it in a good position when the distributor was out laying up on the alternator... Gonna try to start it early tomorrow when its cold again to test the ECU temperature response.
