So my next question is, what do i check for if I'm not getting 12v to the coil or module? Fuses in the box? Or is something cooked along the way from the terminal to the coil itself? I just want my spark back haha

Thanks for being super patient ke70dave, yeah i remember testing the points with the old distributor and had weak spark through them. Yeah the 5k dizzy looks similar to what ive got, except instead of a plug on the side i have 2 wires coming out the side and only have one dizzy vacuum barb. With the electronic distributor i can't adjust the points gap at all?
-
Ok now I'm confused, a bunch of my mechanic mates say that i don't have points in my distributor because its an electronic dizzy, is this correct or can i just not see them as well? Sorry if i sound a bit dense, electronics arent my thing aha

Ok update, got a gt40 coil, but still no spark, ran a multimeter across the points with ignition on as well as cranking but wasn't getting a reading at all. Checked the fise box fuses and replaced them, re went over everything again but still nothing. Its honestly stumped me and is just honestly draining me having no results

Ive hooked back up with the resistor afterwards but got nothing so i have a feeling ive killed the coil :/

Ok so I've picked up a multimeter, but i reckon the mistake i have made is running a gt40r coil without a resistor. As opposed to thinking it was the gt40 instead, which means rookie mistake and feel kind of dumb considering if that ends up being the case aha. It would make sense because i had weak spark through the old distributor (when you touched the screwdriver against the points with ignition on) which had worn points and was getting weak spark, but after the switch and getting 0 spark the one thing I haven't changed or swapped out is the coil. What do you guys think?

7000RPM; haven't got a multi meter to check, but will have a look at the alternator wires when I get home from work (y) Altezzaclub; When I bought it, it didn't start too well with the stock carb, it was missing gaskets and I'm pretty sure it was rebuilt but re assembled wrong, which is why I changed it, because I wanted to go to dual carbs anyway, is struggled and stalled out when it was cold but when it warmed up it ran fine. Have changed the ignition to the bosch module and gt40r coil, if thats what you mean aha, which means I don't have the ballast resistor in it anymore. I'll be getting a multimeter to check if I'm getting 12V at the coil when cranking with my wiring setup how it is tomorrow. As for setting points i'll most likely have to call in a mechanic to do that, as i'm not that confident yet aha Thanks for the tips and few things to check, will let you know how it goes tonight/tomorrow!

Ok so here is my issue, Not long ago I bought a KE70, replaced the carburettor to twin su with lynx manifold, bought new headers etc. It ran once. Fast forward a week after that when my mate was around and I wanted to show off my mental 4into1 headers and how loud it was, wouldn't start though I might have been out of fuel, filled it up with some juice, still nothing. after a while of cranking it started, but was minimal (like, maybe 100) rpm, so low you could still crank it and it was ok with it. then it died. checked the distrubitor, rotor button was spinning freely, and points had weak spark, no problems. I'll switch it to an electronic distributor, get a bosch module, bosch GT40r coil, electronic dizzy, followed Jackbyo's mad guide to install a new electronic distributor (hence why I went with the coil and module I did) but still no spark, not from the coil, tested it with the old spark against the block or bolt head trick as well. made sure my wiring was all ok, still no spark. Re did the ground leads to the battery neg terminal and the engine earth, still no spark. Checked timing a million times ( the old rough TDC then rotor to spark lead one in the cap) ((dunno if that helps with anything)) I'm not great when it comes to car electronics, i've read that bad starters can draw too much power and kill spark so I'm thinking that might be my problem? Anyhow, this thing is killing me, the fact that it ran once, but not any more is driving me mental and ive scoured just about every lead I can think of. So now i'm coming to you lot for advice and hoping that you guys can point me in the right direction in regards to ideas or things ive missed that I should check Cheers in advance! ~Ethan
