Re: Can't Start: How Can you Test Distributor?
Oh yes.
The wire on top of cap and bottom of cap criss cross inside of cap.
You can turn oil pump shaft with a big flat blade screwdrive.
But I just stick dist in and if it does not go all of the way down hold down on edge of dist and just bump starter a little and it will drop on down.
The main thing is to get the dist rotor set to the no 6 on base of dist as in picture AT TDC compression.
Put the cap on and wires.
Then check for spark at spark plugs.
If spark is going into cap and dist is turning it shoulod be comeing out of cap and to the spark plugs.
If spark is going in and dist and rotor is turning and no spark out of cap check rotor and cap real close.
They make a spark tester to save form getting bit.
That spark bite could wipe out a pace maker.
Good Luck
And let us know how it goes.
