Re: 1973 cj5
Start with a Radio Shack ten dollar volt meter and test to see if
you have any power at the coil positive, ignition on, if not go back to
the resistor ballast, a white ceramic thingie bolted to your firewall
and see if it's good. Then crank and see if the solenoid bypass is
powering the coil, good. Pop distributor cap and check points for gap.
See if you can get spark shorting the points with a screwdriver. spark
and no coil discharge will be a bad condenser. If you have spark but not
to the plugs, the rotor may have a hole to shaft ground.
