Yesterday, with some help from my 2 boys, I got my '76 2.0 short block on the engine run stand. I need help setting it up. It's late 2.0, complete, all stock, EFI. I'm looking for any info, any help at all. I've read few dozen threads about engine stands, but most of them deal with yokes, adapters and such. I need help with wiring and actually test running the engine. If local guys can stop by this long weekend and land me a hand, you'd really do me a solid and I'll return the favor. I'll serve beer of your choice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I've had no luck in getting this engine running. I get weak spark or no spark at all. I replaced spark plugs, wires, dist cap, coil, points, condenser. The central wire on the coil has good juicy spark, but 1 cyl gets very weak spark. Coil is hotwired and gets 12.8V between terminals 1 and 15, tach wire unplugged. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Also, while we're on the subject, I've read "Ignition Troubleshooting Checklist" on the Pelican site and it says that "the primary coil windings should give reading of 0.3-0.6 ohms. Secondary coils should be near 600 ohms". Is the primary coil winding between terminal 1 and 15? What is the secondary winding? |
