No Spark
Bought all new ACCEL setup (cap, rotor, module, coil) had running adjusting valves, broke rod so i had to swap heads. i made the rookie mistake by not marking where rotor was so i lost my timing. referred back to TDC and pointed to 1. tried it a few times with no luck so I ran through checking everything, troubleshooting. as i was pulling and dropping distributor to hope to find time my coil started what felt like boiling? under my hand. i quickly unhooked BAT + and my coil was smoking. After research, instead of a new ACCEL coil which i read bad about i spent a lil extra and bought a whole new Distributor set-up. Now I have no spark coming out of my distributor at all. Clean 12v going in to it. Im stumped. Help?:mad:

Is it grounded properly! You should have 24000VDC I think, out of your coil. I believe That's what it take to get a good spark from your plugs. Are you getting nothing from the spark plug end of your wires or are you getting 12v? I would guess your coil is shot!

If you only have 12v from your coil start there. Your coil is a step up Transformer. It's output should be significantly Greater that 12v. Even with the key on/engine off.

Honestly, I don't know. Normally I would use a DMM (Digital Multi Meter) with alligator clip leads. But I'm not sure what the current coming out of the coil should be. I would say see if Pepboys or a Mechanic can test it for you. I wouldn't think it wouldn't cost much if anything at all. But not knowing the current output but knowing it's HIGH, That's what I would do! Good Luck!

If the coil got extremely hot it may have fried. Some coils require a resistor/resistance wire to reduce the input voltage from 12v. To test secondary voltage output stick a Phillips screwdriver into the end of a plug wire, then hold it about 3/16" from the engine block while someone cranks the engine. If you have output you'll see a spark jump the gap. As long as you hold the plastic handle and don't touch the metal part of the screwdriver you won't get zapped.
