I am troubleshooting what I think may be an ignition problem that could be causing a weak idle and hard starting when my engine is hot and has been sitting. I have a 1976, 2 liter car with original fuel injection. The emission equipment and decel valve have been removed.
I would like to check the spark output/voltage to the plugs. Does anyone know what the approximate value should be? I think it is somewhere between 30 and 40 KV. I am using a Pertronix Ignitor if that makes a difference in anything.
Thanks in advance.

pull the distributor and clean the fuel injection points. That helped mine tremendously!
