MS2 V3.0 - About to begin wiring installation

Wiring is complete now, thanks for all your help.

Thanks again!

Ignition coil also working ?

Not yet, I am stepping back from it. Hopefully come back with a clearer head in near future.

The standard coil shows a good value on the input side (3 Ohm).
There is a quick and dirty way to test it :
Connect a spark plug to the outside and also connect the spark plug to ground.
Put 12V to the coil.
Make a ground wire and connect one side to ground, and touch the ground connection of coil.
Mind you keep the touch very very short, in normal running conditions it is somewhere around 4-5 msec !!

I deduced from a process of elimination that everything from the battery through the coil to the ms was working as it should. I read up the options about testing the ignition circuit in the board but it involved the stim and didnt seem like it would produce a solid answer. I decided to look at the distributor vr sensor, I know the distance between the wheel and pickup is important but mine was untouched from factory.

I rechecked my distributor wiring by testing continuity from the vr sensor to ms pin 24 and found something interesting. Credit to user someguy2800 who in another forum explained in mechanical terms how to test for correct wiring of your cam vr sensor.

Attach two leads of your voltmeter to each wire of the sensor, we measure the dc voltage as we place a ferrous metal object in front of the sensor. If when you move the spanner closer to the sensor you find a positive voltage and when you move the spanner away you record a negative voltage then the positive wire of your multimeter is indicating the wire that goes to MS. If you receive the reverse, i.e voltage decreases as spanner gets closer to the sensor, voltage increases when moving it away from sensor. The first result indicates triggering on rising edge, the latter falling edge.

Hope this helps other people who dont have access to an oscilloscope.

Previous no spark condition is now good, getting good spark from the timing light.

Temporarily reverted back to B&G Code 2.920 until it runs

Thanks again to all those who offered assistance
