No Spark

Post by cypriot_boy_2k7 »

MS1 V3 extra
Single coil + Distributor

Really crap spark orange tip when sparking, changed coil for near new one, same thing.
Distributor is near new with only 1000 miles all looks fine
I get a tach signal in TS but not on the car gauges which I think is normal
I have measured voltage from the proto area to the bip373 input and I am only getting 1.5v then drops to 0.3-0.8v
Coil gets 12V across +
when cranking goes to 1600v

Problem solved, was the mica I had with the bip373, was causing grounding, changed to the clear film mica version and fired straight up!
