HELP!! Wont start fo break-in!
There is power to the coil. I tried Waggin's advice on turning the distributor with the ignition on to see if I was getting spark, and I was not, so i checked for power from the coil to the cap, and there's power going to the cap. Then I ran a jumper from the coil wire terminal inside the cap to the terminal for the number 1 plug wire, and got power to the end of the plug wire. The ground points are good. I sanded down to bare metal on them before I ever tried to fire it up. I used new bolts on them, so there's no corrosion issues. The only thing I can think of now is maybe the rotor contact is not close enough to the plug contacts. Like i said, it worked before ( a few days ago) so i don't know why it wouldn't now unless I bumped it or something. How close should it be? The instructions that came with the MSD didn't say.
I have an MSD E-Curve that I tried out on the old engine before I pulled it so that if there were any problems, I could take care of them before I ran into problems during break-in. It worked then, so I don't know why it's not working now.
