electronic ignition trouble

[badfast]

Please help I'm stumped. I have installed a electronic ignition conversion kit in my 71 satellite, when it was first installed it ran great but shortly after the engine died, found that I'm not getting spark to the plugs I have since replaced everything but nothing has helped. I have replaced the control module, ballast resistor,wiring harness,distributor cap and rotor,and the coil.What else could I be forgetting? Any help would be appreciated.

mmmmmmmmmmmm

try a new voltage regulator or another distributor. Sounds like magneto in the electronic distributor is gone. Been there done that.

Not getting spark at the plugs....are you getting spark out of the coil? is the distibutor turning? check the magnetic pickup in the distibutor, also the gap.Are you getting power off the ignition switch?

I'm getting spark at the coil, according to my multimeter the pick up coil checks out ok. I didn't know if there was a fuse or some other wire I should look for. the distributor does turn.

I think I had the same problem. The issue for me was the reluctor in the distributor. I would set the gap between the reluctor and the wheel at spec, but then as the car warmed up, the gap decreased and contacted the wheel - which would in turn stall the car. Are you running a stock-style distributor that came with the kit? If so - your issue might be the same. See if it moves around more than it should (wobbly) and that may be your problem too.

I ended up getting a new distributor and fixed the problem.
