Still no Spark 86 305 4bbl
ok, i changed the coil, the electronic ignition module (the old one tested good) and the condenser. still no spark. the only thing that i haven't changed is the pickup coil which i will do soon. i'm getting really sick of this thing sitting in my driveway not running.... is there a step by step tutorial for troubleshooting no spark in my bird? you know, check for 12v here if not do this if so..... that's really what i need because i hate no spark issues. if it has spark i can make it run but this stuff just makes me frustrated as hell...

I assume this is the big cap HEI? Check power to the distributor itself. The 12v power feeds the coil, pickup and module through that single wire. If there is power there you probably do have a bad pickup. Good luck!

Re: Still no Spark 86 305 4bbl
ok, i'm not getting voltage at the yellow/red wires that plug into the coil that's mounted on top of the distributer.... i checked my fuses long ago but then i just looked again at my chiltons and it says that there is a "courtesy" panel somewhere with what looks like more fuses.... where is it? THANKS!
