83 carbed lt1
Hey guys, haven't been on the forum for awhile, i finally have everything hooked up and the thing cranks and cranks and cranks, im getting fuel from my inline fuel pump, to the carb definately, i tried testing for spark, and i didnt see any spark what so ever :/ , i changed my ignition coil inside the distributor, still no spark, i tested the hot wire to the coil to make sure it had a full 12 v, it did. Do i need to replace my whole bottom part of the distrubutor maybe? oh yea i replaced the cap n rotor as well. spark plugs and wires as well. still no spark , and its just flooding the car cuz it wont blow up me gas ..
Well any help would be gladly appreciated
i am using a rear mount distributor now that i switched to carb, thanks.

Re: 83 carbed lt1
what about the ign. module? thats the thing with the wires in the bottom of the distr.. sure its good? if it goes out, no spark. there's a way to test it, I believe its resistance related, but cant remember what the resistance should be. is this a new distr. or a used/old one?

u talking about the module in the cap? thats brand new, i even used another one i had laying around still no go, but it is an old distributor, all i replaced was the module inside of it, and the cap n rotor

what about the coil inside the distr.? its in the center of the distr. next to the module. maybe that is bad. I wouldnt mess with it myself. I'd just buy one of those pertronix dist.s if you dont have the money for an MSD or mallary dist.

figured out what it was, my pick up coil is bad, the car started when i removed the 4 pin connector from the ecm to the dist... that means the pick up coil is bad, says chiltons :P thanks guys
