Shawninvancouver Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share #61 Posted June 9, 2021 i just watched a video i did of checking for power at the coil area.. power goes to one side of the balast but does not come out the other side and does not get power to the coil.. is that correct???

Zed Head Posted June 9, 2021 Share #62 Posted June 9, 2021 No, that is incorrect. You need a meter or a test light. It's an easy test. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/65481-74-260z-distributor-on-wrong/?page=6#findComment-623169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted June 9, 2021 Share #63 Posted June 9, 2021 There should also be a ground wire on the bottom bolt hole of the distributor's pedistal. They're on my cars.

Shawninvancouver Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share #65 Posted June 9, 2021 here is a video using the test light... why no power out of balast? https://photos.app.goo.gl/wTuyQYuAueTwDbvU9 coil.MOV 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/65481-74-260z-distributor-on-wrong/?page=6#findComment-623172 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted June 9, 2021 Share #66 Posted June 9, 2021 Disconnect the wires, remove the ballast resistor and turn it over. Looks like it might be damaged. The wire is probably broken.
