PROBLEM WITH SPARK TO DISTRIBUTOR

[leeandgrant]

Two weeks ago started up my 69 charger and moved it from my pole building to house garage. For the last week the car will not start. I am starting to get mad. I converted the ignition two years ago to electronic and has never given me any problems till now. I have power to the ballast resistor, power to positive side of coil. Ignition switch is working fine. I have spark from coil to dist cap. I have removed the orange ecu from another car that runs along with the ballast resistor and coil and put it on my 69 and still same problem. Did I fry something in distributor? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have spark coming out of the coil the ECU is doing it's job.
Did you check for spark at the spark plugs ?  If you don't have spark there then you need a cap or rotor.

i just had this problem with my 73. the pick up coil in the distributer could be at fault,there is a test you can perform with an ohm meter check a servive manual for exact spec and proceedure

The resistance is about 700 ohms if i remember correctly but, if the pickup in the distributor goes bad you won't have any spark out of the coil
