So, after reading up on how wonderful and easy the duraspark swap would be on my 1984 Bronco II, I decided I would give it a try.
So, I quickly gathered all the necessary parts for my ignition swap venture; the motocraft 2100, the pinto distributor and coil, and the wonderful blue-grommet ignition module. Then I printed out the step by step information on this here forum to begin my swap. I've wired everything as described, and NO SPARK.
This caused some frustration, and commenced the tedious process of check all the wires for continuity, ground, voltage, etc..
I had my brand new ignition module tested over at Autozone, and it tested good.
Hmmm. Then I decided to whip out my ignition spec book, and maked sure the wires getting voltage are getting the correct voltage and behaving correctly for the different key positions, and everything checks out all right. Next I tested the wires to make sure the correct wire got the correct voltage (or lack there of).
The coil is good and just for giggles I tried a few coils off of running vehicles, and still no luck. I also tested the stator assembly in the distributor, and it is functioning properly. I made sure the engine was grounded, still no luck.
So I have a truck that won't run because it is getting NO SPARK, and I really don't want to have to take my truck to a shop.
So any help would be greatly apprecialted, because quite frankly, I'm stumped.
