It was the distributor module.

Yes, I tested the coil for resistance and spark. Both were normal. Coil is good. In this pic the ignition wire goes from ignition to ballast. Correct me if I'm wrong but this is the red wire with blue stripe and it goes to the relay and then the ballast (like in the...

Steve. The 10v result was while in cranking position. Those last results were in the run position. Sorrt, I wasn't clear. Pretty much everything you stated is what I was pondering. Thanks.

So with the ignition in the run position when I disconnected this I had: Solenoid positive terminal 12v Solenoid I terminal 12v Coil negative terminal 12v Coil positive terminal 12v When connected I had Solenoid positive terminal 12v Solenoid I terminal 8v Coil negative terminal 1v Coil...

I also forgot to say I'm not sure of how to remove this rotor to get to the module on the dizzy.

Ok, so this is what I have. Ignition Switch – 12.3 volts Battery – 12.5v Battery Drop – 12.5v Battery Cable Drop – .1v Solenoid +post to S terminal – 3.6 ohms Solenoid battery post voltage – 12.6v Solenoid S terminal - 12.1v Solenoid I terminal – Initial reading is 15v for about a...

Oh just saw this on a different forum. "When you turn the key to start... Power runs from the ignition switch thru the NSS to the S terminal of the solenoid causing a high amperage of power to travel from the battery to the starter lug of the relay to the starter to crank the engine.... At the...

So after some checking the battery measured at 12v, ignition switch measured at 11.7v, and wire (read w/ green stripe) off of switch that terminates at relay (after a couple of connectors) measures at 7.6v so I'm guessing the problem is between the switch and relay. Please correct me if I'm...

Unilite Comp 9000. I figured as much but I'm not mechanically/electrically inclined therefore I wasn't sure of everything that was upstream of the tester. Can't be the module because this was the wire coming off of the coil prior to the distributor. I considered the the relay, ignition switch...

351c, 2v, mallory dizzy., new coil. I have a no start no spark condition. Car started two weeks ago. Here's a description from a different forum that seems to describe three actions at start. "When you turn the key to start... 1)Power runs from the ignition switch thru the NSS to the S...

Appreciate the responses. I said EGR in the original post but meant PCV.

Hello, 351c 2bbl H code. Saw some conflicting info on the following so was hoping someone could clarify for me. Pulled my carburetor and noticed that there were two gaskets. No spacer so here's my questions. Did all 71, 72, 73's come with carb spacers or are there a certain engine/carb...

I put some extra material (carpet like) on the brace pictured in the 2nd post. To much and it'll inhibit the movement of the window. Not enough and the rattle will still be there. Get it right and not more rattle. Don't remember exactly what I used.

Got it. Thx.

For those that have done this swap or are fairly knowledgeable about it (particularly if an FMX was coming out) what is typically done with the lockout rod. Is there a way to connect it to the new trans? Is there and after market product used to resolve this issue? Or, do most not worry about...
