Distributor Test

  1. Disconnect distributor connector. Connect a voltmeter between pins No. 3 and 5. Crank engine while observing voltmeter. Voltmeter should oscillate between 0-2.5 volts.
  2. If voltmeter does not oscillate, remove distributor cap and visually check for damage. Ensure distributor rotor turns when engine is cranking. Ensure armature is tight on distributor shaft and that alignment pin is in place. Repair as necessary.
