No spark- the sage continues

[dave silva]

So, i order the "same" distributor from Amazon- $60. But it's the wrong one- the gear and the shaft are defferent.

But ALL the electronics are identical so i swap the coil and, what i assume is the control module. and the coach fires right up, like never before,
starts instantly without touching the pedal.

Today i go to move the coach and it won't start, I have power to the distributor and no spark.

Any ideas other than cheap parts with a high failure rate?

Probably the module but you didn’t change the pick up coil did you

Did you add an additional ground from the distributor base to the block? Than can help.

Take the cap off and check all internal connection and wires not pinched.
