SUP? FELLAS my engine swap has gone sooo well (not) everything is in, but have no fire coming out of the coil. any ideas? heres what has been done. 88 w100 318 tbi, removed it and put in a 84 w100. removed all tbi stuff and went str8 carb. turns over but no fire. new: dist, coil, ecu, ballast, dist, rotor, wires, starter sol, plugs. chkd top dead center 3 times, is good. have 12 volts at ecu, ballast and positive on coil. what am i missing?

 

We really need more specific info. How many pins in your ECU? Are you using the 88 style distributer with Hall Effect sensor or one with pick-up coil/s? If pick-up coil type distributer is it single or dual pick-up? Single or dual ballast?

 

whatup Seal, its a single pickup dist (electronic) and a single ballast and a 4 pin ecu. all new and wired in. have checked wiring too many times to count. I have power to everything that should have power but no juice out of the coil.

 

positve power for the coil should be coming from the ballast resister. is there power at the ballast resister?
