'77 L48 vette-3rd distributor in a week...
got a friend with a 77 vette, it died and he had it towed to my house.
he said it died clean like he turned the key off or something. no spark at plugs. so installed new cap/rotor,module, no spark. new coil, no spark. pulled & replaced distributor, re-used new cap, coil, etc...fired right up. 2 days later, died again. exact same symptoms, and same diagnostic process--wouldnt run untill an entire distributor swap. that was 3 days ago. this morning, guess what... yup. towed here again. wouldnt run untill entire distributor swap. so whats killing the pickup? ( only part left in distributor not changed, gotta knock rollpin/gear off to change--if that distributors coming out new ones going in. ) hes on his 3rd new distributor in a week. anyone got any ideas? thanks in advance... (hah. i said 'advance'...in a thread about distributors...get it? awww, c'mon, that was FUNNY... ) |

Check the power wires to the distributor/coil for continuity/resistance. At this point they are old and suspect.
