No spark, been reading...need ideas

Zed Head

I took your testing method and set up a bench test. Battery with jumper cables Pos on battery to Pos coil; neg on coil. Hold coil wire near neg post and tap neg jumper cable to post. All of my coils sparked. Some pretty weak but all of them would spark. I did it in the dark in my shop. I couldn't hear the spark but could see it.

So I figure the problem is in the dizzy.

I pulled a coil and dizzy out of a 1982 280zx this past week. Did the ZX upgrade. It was very easy, almost plug and play. With a little starter fluid and tinkering, I got it to run again :laugh: Just have to set timing now...

That is so great!!!

Thanks, for all the help from the forum members...
