Hi cap269,

I tested the tach terminal contnuity to the ground with my multi meter. I am kinda novice at using the multi meter. So I turned the dial to the ohms range. I received a 1 at 200ohm,2000ohm,20k,200k but a 12.25 at 2000k. does this mean I have continuity in the tach terminal or not?

Hi cap269,

The trouble shooting guide says to check for spark at coil. How to I check for spark at the coil?

Hi Cap269,

Thanks for your help. I found this trouble shooting guide but i don’t know what they are referring to when they say distributor terminal C/+, + and C terminals I have listed the 3 steps they say below.

1. disconnect Distributor terminal “C/+”
2. ignition on , engine not running
3. check voltage at “+” and “C” terminals of the distributor harness connector

Hi cap269,

Thanks for you’re reply. Yeah I know the part is in there I even tested it after. check for shorted to ground connections, by probing the “BAT” connection and the center terminal with your DVOM leads. There should be infinity resistance or OL on your meter<it passed. This no start issue happened with my car all of a sudden before this it was running fine. I turned it on and moved it out of my garage to let my wife out when I went back to start it it wouldn't start. Since then i verified that it is cranking, the battery is 12.6volts, fuel is going to carburetor. All the hei parts have been replaced even the distributor and tested i.e coil and pickup coil. I have checked the fuse box all fuses are fine. So thats why I am focusing on power to batt terminal on distributor why would it drop to 7 volts at crank? Is there anything I could be missing?
