Marcarl Posted December 5, 2012 Share #3 Posted December 5, 2012 Guess the first thing I would check is,,,, is the plug firing. Take the wire off the plug, insert a Phillips screwdriver and then turn it over with the screwdriver close to a ground. If that doesn't fire, check back to the coil to make sure all is connected and right, that includes the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to take the plug wire off and hold it in 1 hand then grab on to a good ground and have someone turn the engine over you will find out if you have spark....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbig1 Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share #7 Posted December 11, 2012 i have the little tool that is made for that. want to keep hair long and straight. no need for fried look. ugly enough already. worked at a dodge garage when first electronic ign came out. factory sent out letter warning about the shock, and the pin in hood to head sin-drum.
