Argh!! No spark from distributor. Help!
Well, just tried to fire her up for the first time...no spark coming out of the distributor.
I have newly installed an MSD Digital 6, and it doesn't show any signal from the Motorcraft 12127 distributor either (a mag pulse model). When I pulled the coil wire, held it close to ground, and crossed the signal wires from the MSD, I got a good spark to ground.
I called the MDS tech line, and they don't think it is the MSD unit. I tend to agree, as it does look to be working (solid red led when ignition on, no flashing with no apparent signal). The coil also seems ok, so that leaves the supposedly new distributor (came with motor as new, just having been broken in on a dyno, so it should have been working. The problem is, I just don't really know how to troubleshoot these mag impulse distributors...HELP. pleeeese.
