Hi,
I've rewired the car front to back and just started it up. Changed Ballast resistor (read 2.4 ohms on ballast disconnected vs. the new one which correctly is 0.6 ohms).
Distributor is electronic OEM spec and I have a blue ignition module on the firewall and external voltage regulator box (EGN - FLD).
With the engine running, the (-) terminal on the coil reads 70.3 volts, and the (+) terminal was 16.4 volts. Idles fine. As it is running the Field/IGN on the voltage regulator are 15 volts. Battery is also freshly charged 100%.
Before I drive it, just want to make sure this sounds about right. Nothing is smoking or seemingly wrong, but I'm not an expert in this area. Let me know your thoughts and if there is anything else I should test using my power probe III. Thanks,
