Is this the factory distributor?
« on: January 03, 2016, 03:57:41 PM »
Having a crank but no spark issue. Trying to get to the bottom of this. Anyone have a procedure for me to test that the ignition coil is working?

I don't have the procedure handy; but also look at the ign module under the cap and rotor.   They have a habit of breaking the wires inside the insulation from pivoting with the vacuum advance.

I see yellow and green but no wire to the BAT terminal. The 4 cyl Dukes came with them stock. Not the others.

AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!
