Re: Q-Jet frustration
Well....I had a little free time to look things over....I took the air cleaner off and sure enough she was getting plenty of gas....so....off to the dark side of electrical I went.....no spark? hmmm, got out the digital multimeter and no juice at the dang coil....started looking and found a slightly melted plug at the rear of the ignition switch....Had the local parts pusher send me a new plug and harness....okay, now I have 12 volts at the coil with the wire loose and not so much once connected, but still no stinking spark...I'm thinking that the Mallory ignition module has bit the dust...I guess that I need to figger a way to test out that dang Mallory Coil too....
anyone want to hold the output stud and tell me how much juice it's giving off?
Maybe it's time to ditch the Mallory stuff and go back to GM HEI....I have had those little modules die unexpectedly, but a spare in the glove box has come to my rescue before.....what say the gurus?
I just hate a truck that doesn't start....and the new 68 fires every time and the 72 sits there in quiet shame....
