Magnetic Pickup (Stator Assembly) Test

With key off, check resistance between pin #7 and pin #8. Reading should be between 400 and 800 ohms. Check resistance between pin #6 and engine ground to read zero ohms. Check resistance between pin #7 and engine ground, and between pin #8 and engine ground. Both readings should be more than 70, 000 ohms. If any of above tests fail, the distributor magnetic pickup is inoperative and must be replaced.
