ready to run distributor.

[UNKIE]

Installed an A-Team ready-to-run distributor because the engine no start now have engine spends but now has no spark out of the new dist. I've written to Southwestern Auto Parts several times about this cow patty of a kit. I guess it'll be the last time I get something like this. I mean it looks like a right good set but when you hook up everything the way that the diagram shows and nothing comes out the dist I'm starting to think the rock-auto ECU went up at 3 years old. I guess I'll take this stuff to have it checked out. But man I'm telling you I feel like a dunce been working on cars since I was 17 years old or so then at a dealership till I retired. I just wrote to them saying that since they have an outlet in Baltimore to have one of their people stop by and check it out.

If you tap that top lead on a ground it should fire the coil. This will at least tell you there is life in the ECU.

Honestly though, modern ECUs are all junk. Take yours apart and you'll find it's not an actual transistor under that heatsink. Doesn't matter where you source them. They're all shit. Only hope is to get a lightly used one from the 90's or 00's.

Thank you I'll give it a shot when I'll get back from the VA. I have an appt on the 3rd floor. I hope it works. I went out this morning hooked it up and she came to life.
I say thank you very much.
