No Power from Coil to Distributor?!!!
Okay, so I replaced starter, cap, rotor, points, coil, plugs, wires on my 1973 K20 350 points ignition. It ran before I did all this, and now it won't start. I've done a fair amount of research but haven't found an answer. Here is what I've done so far:
1) Engine cranks great. Battery is low but I hooked it up to a charger w/a quick start so I'm getting a good, healthy crank. 2) Yellow wire from starter 'R' to (+) on ignition coil 3) Black wire from distributor to (-) on coil and the external condensor to (-) as well. 4) I am getting no spark. I tested the coil at Autozone, resistance is within specs. 5) I put the key in the 'on' position to check for power from the switch to the coil. I attached the voltage tester on the (+) side of the coil, grounded it to the manifold, it lights up to 12V, meaning I'm getting power to it. 6) I disconnected the coil-to-distributor wire and had my wife (haha) crank the engine and put the distributor end of the wire close to the firewall, then brake booster to check for spark, but nothing. As far as I can tell, this means I am not getting power from the coil to the distributor. Anyone have any idea what is going on? I'm stumped on this. For whatever it is worth, I'm getting a healthy dose of fuel to the carb, but no spark. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for this first stage of the build up, but this is a big bump so far.
