Hello,
Ran into a weird issue this afternoon while working on my Alpine. The car is a bit of a basket case and I'm currently sorting out the electrical system - today's project: the tachometer. I got the tach working, albeit is works backwards . . . but that is another issue I'll have to deal with. More importantly, the car went from starting several times with no issues to suddenly having no spark at the plugs. I did the obvious checks for faults at the tach - which is now completely disconnected - and found nothing out of the ordinary. I then changed out the coil (twice) and had the same problem. Power to the coil is 0 volts when off and 12 volts with power. The wires running off the distributor show continuity, and the positive wire running to the dizzy show 0 volts with power off and 12 volts with power on. Any thoughts as to what the issue could possibly be? It's probably something stupidly obvious, but nothing comes to my mind . . .
Thanks in advance,
Ed
