Well I did have 12 v at the coil but now I don't have any juice going to coil. The next day after posting previous progress, I went back to the truck and had nothing. The three pronged connection on the back of the ignition switch doesnt seems to fit right. I'm wondering if thats the problem. When I turn on the key it shows I'm getting voltage to the coil for a split second but then it's gone. I definitely have power to the ignition.
I also am a little concerned about the resistor. It was extremely hot and almost looked like it was glowing on the back side against firewall the other night.
Someone at a car cruise last weekend suggested the condenser might be bad in the distributor? Does anyone think that could do it?
I'll try new coil wire. That certainly is an easy check.
I'm sure when it's all said and done I'll sit back and want to kick myself because it's something simple, but right now I'm ready to walk away for a while.
Thanks again
