BROKEN
just got home from mersea show outside the house stopped to park it up and revere in and engine cut out ! no spark now ! god dam it i have power to the coil ok plenty of fuel goin in !!!
its got the coil in the dizzy cap a condenser in there and a ignition module thing how can i check the module is ok ? i think i will buy a new cap/ rotor arm anyway as they look used ! i have 24000 ohms book says 20000 so not far out on the coil
argggggggggggggghhhhh it was running great !!!!!!!!!!! i hate cars !!!!!!!!

Re: BROKEN
It's an absolute tiss paker Paul but right at the bottom of the dizzy below the rotor arm and weights for mechanical advance is the module with the pick up coil on it. It has 2 wires coming from it. You need to check resistance over these 2 wires to verify the pickup coil is good. Should be around 700 ohms, but you need to dismantle the dizzy to get to them!

Re: BROKEN
Im undecided as to Billing yet, My dads not 100% after his sudden illness last weekend and id like to be near just in case. Plus, my Firebird nail is in need of attention on several minor items as well. Diff cover gasket has started leaking.
