Bruce, from your earlier post: check the air gap, it should be at .008, BE SURE TO CHECK WITH A BRASS FEELER GAUGE.
Next check the OHM's by putting your leads in the wire coming from the distributor, it should be in the neighborhood of 300 to 600 OHMs. Next check the voltage output, set your meter to the lowest AC voltage setting put the leads in the same spot and spin the distributor, it should show at least 1 volt AC.
1) If the gap is more or less than .008, how do I adjust it, assume there is a slotted screw that allows me to move it in or out???
Yes. It is on a moveable plate. Loosen the screw slightly and move the plate with a screwdriver. You will be checking the gap between the high spots on the reluctor and the pickup.
2) On the ohms test, are saying to put both leads on in the male and one in the female connection of the pick up unit after separating the weather proof connector that leads to the ECU? Not sure I understand correctly.
Yes. The two wire connection coming out of the distributor base.
Dude you have been a big help, thx again
