no spark, no injector pulse
The car is a 92 350 tpi. Has been sitting for ~4 years tank full of rust. Cleaned it out replaced fuel pump. It works, it has pressure.
At first the spark to the plugs was intermittent. But spark from the coil was nice and blue. I opened the distributor and everything was as corroded as inside the tank. Bought a cardone (I know, I know) reman dizzy from vato zone stabbed it in and then the spark to the plugs became constant but a weak orange color. Then out of no where, no spark at all. Swapped in a known working coil with no spark coming from the coil wire.
Voltage on the pink wire to the coil is ~11 during cranking its around ~8. Also want to note that the tach is not moving with key in or during cranking. Fuses good ses light functioning code 12 etc etc
Is it possible I got a junk dizzy from the store or do I have the rare case of a tach grounding out the ignition? How can I check? Am I on the right track or is it something else?
