Distributor pickup

When i orderd the Dizzy i asked if my msd blaster coil whold work and he sad yes but i had to skip the ballast onley got 9v out of the lead to coil
 
I have found very very little info on those. I "assume" and this may be wrong--that they use a module similar to a GM HEI. The "Skip White" "ready to run" which is a similar deal uses a module that is readily available and used on Australian Holden vehicles. Maybe ProForm is the same.

If you can get it apart, and find that the trigger assembly is still good, there is no reason you can not adapt a different electronics box, Holden, GM HEI, or MSD

Many of us on here us a Mopar breakerless dist. to trigger a GM HEI module

Yes but this is not a hei dizzy this one is a copy of Mp Dizzy il hook up the 6al and try
 
OK so it's just a trigger and no electronics. Well I don't know. "The standard" tests---inspect it visually for debri in the trigger/ pickup, hook a meter to the pickup output and spin the dist. With the meter on low AC volts it should generate somewhere around 1volt AC Check pickup coil for resistance. It might be open. As I said I've found little info on these

oh its a miracle the car starded today gona pull the dizzy and test it i bet its the ecu it was raining yesturday so i ges thats the problem the msd is going back in
 
Very little can fail with the pick up:
- if the vac adv is used, the wires can break after maaaaaaaaaany miles
- worn shaft or top bushing can close up the air gap to zero. No spark if contact is made between reluctor & p/up node.
