OK, so I've got good connection all the way to the starter. Turns like a champ now.
However, now I'm not getting spark. As part of this exercise I burned up my Pertronix and had to put the points back in. There's a little braided copper wire in the distributor that is attached to the breaker plate on one end and air on the other. I'm guessing that this is the ground wired described in a PP tech article for ignition troubleshooting. Where does this need to go to, body of distributor? How should I attach it. It's a good thing that I enjoy this stuff or I'd be going nuts. Thanks, |

They come with trigger points too? I checked with the Kragen here because I found the source of my problems with the retard (doesn' t hold vacuum). They can get the unit, but it is for a 1.7L. As it turns out, the 1.7L one they spec has the same vacuum canister as the 2.0L (022-905-271C). The canister alone runs about $100. The trigger points alone run $110. You can get the A1 cardone unit for $51.99 with a $1 core deposit!!! That sounds too good to be true. Why wouldn't everyone get these and throw away the distributors? I don't get it....
