Hey there,
Only 2 things on your above list that you may not have checked or replaced are the pick-up coil in the distributer, unless that was replaced during the rebuild, and confirming that you actually have power to your new coil? Does your CD box have the audible whine to it with the key turn to the on position, simple first step check for the CD box function. The electrical gremlin really has his hooks in you....arrrgghhhh!

For fun, let's start from the beginning.
Verify you have a good connection on the heavy red and black wires on the MSD. Then verify you have a good 'keyed' 12V source going to the small red wire on the MSD. Verify you have the Orange and Black wires going to the coil with no other wires to the coil, except those. Now disconnect the magnetic pickup distributor wires from the MSD, pull the coil wire from the cap and lay close to a grounded piece of metal. Turn the key on, take the small white wire from the MSD and tap it off and on a ground. You should get a healthy spark from the coil wire.

full quack, the rebuild of the distributor has the distributor in new working order, there is an AC pulse coming from the green coax, both when spun by hand as well as when cranking. The Bosch box does whine, both of the boxes I have do; however, no spark. I'm sure I've checked for power at the coil, I think I read where the CDI sends 400 Volts to the coil, so I may not have tested it now that I think about it.
WinRice, I don't have the MSD yet. That is what I'll be replacing the Bosch box with. By next weekend I hope to have it all running....... Thanks for your help, Frank I read where the new Bosch coils made in Brazil can be bad new, but at this point I just don't know if that could be the issue. It tested the same as the old coil I took out.

Whoops, I read your last post too fast, thought you had the MSD box. With the MSD box I would recommend getting the MSD hi-vibration coil (#8222) to go with it.

I don't know the wiring in an '82 but you can also check the thin puple and black ignition trigger wire at the back of the tachometer to see if it's shorted or something.
Also don't know if there is a "speed relay" rev limiter under the driver seat that could interfere with ignition triggering. And if there is a factory alarm or aftermarket alarm maybe it could be interfering with ignition. The 450 volts to the coil primary terminal is a quick pulse and the negative terminal eventually goes to ground after dissapearing into the wire harness so it may be hard to check on a voltmeter. Run the coil primary wires directly from the MSD box when you install it. |
