Title: no spark on my 86 any ideas
Post by: blue864wd on October 25, 2009, 03:18:18 pm

I just put a different motor in my 86 out of a 75 (350 btw) i drove the 75 in the garage to pull the motor and kept the dist from the 75 with the motor. I have the truck all together and have 12.09v going to the BAT. terminal fromt he pink wire with the key in the on position I still have no spark tested the coil and it checked out fine as with the pickup also tested fine my manual did not say how to test the module but i exchanged it with 2 other modules i had assuming one of them had to be in working order still no spark. Im kind of at a stand still aside from buying a new distributor but the one that is in it i would think is perfectly fine, it was running a week ago and it wasnt dropped or handled roughly. any ideas on what could cause a no spark condition if the dist. is in good shape?
- thanks in advance

If the pick up coil tests good and the module is good and the coil is good then my question would be is the distributor shaft turning? If so is the pole piece turning?
