Yeah I tried on my old coil and got nothing. But I did see evidence of it arcing from the case to the steel laminates.
Put the new coil in place and still no spark.
Either the 2 condensers and or the black thing mounted on top of the bracket with 3 wires ( J121 Power Unit ), or its the distributor.
My guess anyways.

It has had this short studder from time to time like it cuts out for a split second, just this time it stopped totally
New engine, cap/rotor, plug wires and plugs, same old distributor.
Would it be your opinion that is the pick up sensor on the distributor ?
ECU codes all is normal.
