Is there a way to test the control boxes, distributor pick-up, coil, and ballast resistor to determine if they work properly or not? AutoZone? O'reily's??? Would they have a tester that could help us???
To check the pick up coil. Unplug the 2 way connector, set your meter to Ohm's, 1 lead on each wire. You should see 150 to 900 Ohms.
Set your meter to AC volts, 1 lead in each hole, spin the dizzy by either turning the engine over or pull the dizzy and spin it by hand. You need 1 volt AC minimum.
Ballast resistor, set to Ohms, one lead on each end, take reading.
