Jim,

I seem to be missing part of the story ... why was the car on a transporter??? Was it running and functional before heading home to you?

The three-digit numbers below the Bosch part number on the coil base are a date code ... xyy ... where x is the last digit of the year and yy is the week of the year it was manufactured.

Pulled the ground wire off the coil, and inserted a voltmeter between gound post and ground with ignition on...have juice there. Reset points about four times just to be sure.


What EXACTLY were you checking? Continuity to ground??? What did you find that you described as 'juice?' There ISN'T supposed to be a Voltage between chassis ground and the coil ... except when a 350 - 460 Volt pulse is generated by the CDI-unit after triggering by a ground pulse to the trigger input lead from the distributor ...

Please use conventional terminology is your descriptions!!!
