Did I fry my dist???!!!
I have a new (Pro-Comp) distributor that I've only pulled with once. My problem is:
I did some welding to the frame a couple days ago.....Started it up and pulled it into the Garage. It started and idled fine before I shut it down. Today I went in to move it out, and now I have no spark!! I switched complete caps and it didn't help. Since I forgot to remove my positive batt cable, I think i fried something. I have almost 14 volts to the dist, and It turns over too easy. What would I check inside the dist under the rotor???? I'm hoping it's something silly that I'm overlooking....especially since it started and drove fine AFTER I welded. any hints would be appreciated. A..........

Remove module and take to Autozone ,etc. and the can check it. If you have one out of another, try it.

Re: Did I fry my dist???!!!
14 volts sounds to high you would want it about 12 volts

Re: Did I fry my dist???!!!
I did last time......I think something wierd is going on. I don't think it was the welding due to the fact that it started right up and drove back in when I was done. Has anyone heard bad things about ProComp distributors off of ebay??? I'm gonna disconnect everything anyway just to be safe.
thanks, A......
