Re: Another Spark Question

I’m just pulling the wire and looking for spark. Now that I have the new Belden plug wires they aren’t straight connect so I’ve been putting a spare plug in and laying it on the engine to watch for spark.

I plan to use the multimeter to test the coil and others tomorrow. I swapped the coil with a new one from Napa, but the new one is dented as usual with the way Napa handles their merchandise. I had an NOS condenser and points those were swapped in but again the meter will tell me if they were the problem or continue to be. I just can’t imagine that the starter would pull so much current and still turnover so reliably. Very much hoping next opportunity everything checks out justifying the charged battery swap (for the 8th time) and magically I have spark.
