Magnetic Pick-Up (Stator Assembly) Test

With key off, check resistance between pins No. 3 and 7. Reading should be 400-1000 ohms. Check resistance between pin No. 8 and engine ground. Reading should be zero ohms. Check resistance between pin No. 3 and engine ground, and between pin No. 7 and engine ground. Both readings should be more than 70, 000 ohms. If any of the above tests fail, the distributor magnetic pick-up is defective and must be replaced.
