well i bought an aw11 dist. and it still doesnt work. I dont think its my dist. anymore. its something else! err

 

Try to check for spark straight out of the coil, if good, go through Slash's list, if not try the following...

The ignition system is pretty simple. If you have a known good dizzy and coil, your ignitor and or wiring are the only two to worry about. The 4age black top ignitors will operate with or with-out a functioning engine computer.

If you have the 4 pulse sine wave from the pick-up coil in the dizzy to the ignitor, a good power from the black with orange wire from the round five wire connector, a properly powered coil with a good trigger wire from the ignitor, and a properly grounded ignitor, then the engine should have spark or the ignitor is bad. I hope this helps...

 

i think the timing could of jumped from being stalled.

 

I have a spare ignitor if that turns out to be the problem.

 

You bought a used dist..... thats not saying much of anything towards eliminating a variable in the equasion...

 

i think i know what it is. Have to find ou tomororW!

 

i pmed you aphxero about the igniter

 

Problem solved! Intake cam jumped a tooth.

Motor is okay but not great. At least it drives now.

 

yeah, Mark's the 86 man! I thought I traced it down to the igniter, but the timing jumped when the motor stalled and Mark re timed the motor and gave me a spare igniter w/ coil.
