  1. Remove distributor cap. Visually check pick-up module and be sure "E" core of coil is aligned with parallel edge of timing rotor. Check air gap.
  2. Check resistance values between center terminal and each outer terminal at distributor connector. See Fig 1. Center terminal to Red cable should be 2.25-2.75 ohms. Center terminal to Black cable should be 0.81 - 0.99 ohms. If core faces are out of line or ohmmeter reading is incorrect, replace pick-up module.
