-eric Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Having a moment here. Engines in the car, and its only hooked up with a switch and push button to start it. Everything gets power,it also turns over. Distributor is rebuilt,gapped properly etc. Brand new plugs, wires, everything. The picture isnt the best. But power runs to the coil, then runs to the ballast resistor/distributor. Theres an ignition module sitting on another one of my engines, but as far as the wiring diagram goes for a 1971 240z it doesnt have one. Im assuming its for a 280z. So heres where Im stuck, am I having a tard moment and im forgetting to put something in, or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zmanco Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) How did you determine there's no spark? With ignition on, check that you have +12V at one side of the coil. With ignition off, rotate the engine so the points are closed and measure resistance to ground from the other side of the coil. It should be close to zero. Edit: it should be a few ohms since the ballast resistor is in the circuit. Let us know what you find out. One last thing, check you have the rotor installed - you'd be in good company if you left it out Edited July 22, 2010 by Zmanco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
