I am in the process of installing a 1.8L 205AA Vacuum Distributor in my dual carb setup. I am initially trying to static time it, but no matter where I turn the distributor, I get a constant 12V on my meter. It never goes to zero. I can see the points open and close but the voltage remains all the time. What's wrong here? Is there something I need to disconnect inside the 205AA dizzy since I am not fuel injected? Very puzzled and need HEEEELP !!!! Thanks.

Points closed give a ground connection to the coil which always has a positive connection. So, remove the wire from the coil to the points and set your ohm meter to it and the other lead to ground. Then ohms will be zero with points closed and infinite when they open (or "break"). |
