Buick Electra 1967 with 430. New distributor, new sparkplugs and wires.
(With modern generator with cable hack, when I set ignition on, it buzzes and the battery volts drops, I waited until it stabilized and then made the following testes.)
My rusty no-name coil make it run as it should every time.
But i want a new and improved, so I bought two Blaster 2 coils, and none
of these makes the engine run.
I even tested my friends Blaster 2, and one of mine in his car.
Works in his car, but not in mine.
I have new 8.5mm low resistance MSD spark wires.
Good grounding. Cables where they should be according to manual.
My newest Blaster 2:
* Coil+ ignition off = 0 Volts
* Coil+ ignition on = 12.35 Volts
* Battery ignition on = 12.60 Volts
* Coil+ cranking = 11 - 9.x Volts
* Coil+ "running" = 12.20 Volts
* Primary = 0,9 Ohms
* Secondary = 5490 Ohms
It starts but missing some cylinders, like timing is off.
Runs for 5 seconds and die. Out comes gas thru carb.
If i go back to my old no-name coil it runs perfectly.
(Timing Initial: 4 Mechanical 34.. Will set it better later.)
Why replace it? Obliviously something is wrong, and car could fail with old coil also.
When I remove wire from distributor cab and place it close to ground
with a bolt in it and crank, i get an okay, pulsing spark.
I get sparks without a helping bolt also.
MSD keeps focusing on the coil.
I'm starting to suspect the Ignition Module.
But it costs 134.97$
So before I test replacing this I turn to all of you for suggestions?
Thanks
