Pain in the ***.

 

I thought it was a Mexican/indian bread!

 

Well don't I feel stupid! I got Soaring to say ***!! Ha Ha!!

 

Vintage Mustang distributors. I think this might be a good FAQ.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I did notice that the terminals inside the cap seemed fairly close, and I adjusted them (and I am going out to see if that fixes it). The car ran fine prior to me taking the thing apart to install the Pertronix. And yes the felt has cut outs for the black bumpers. The reason the Pertronix doesn't fit is because of the second post for the points it hits the module.

 

Okay just checked it. No joy. I am sitll not getting any spark. I checked with the test light and is it normal to get power to the negitive side of the coil? Seems weird to me. But I am not getting anything from the coil wire to the distributor. Perhaps the old coil died?

 

If you aren't getting any voltage from the coil with it hooked up , it is most likely toast.

 

Are you saying you are getting voltage on the - side but not on the + side? That sounds like the coil is wired backwards.

 

No I am getting voltage on both sides of the coil. I don't know how much but the test light comes on.

 

Diconnect the ballast resistor and check for voltage on the incoming side of that (with the key on) and make sure your test light is grounded good.
