·Ok here is what I have done so
Ok here is what I have done so far.
1. sent the box back to Lonnie to get checked,alnog with the ignition coil. Both checked out perfect accorong to him.
2. Installed the box after getting it back...no spark.
3. I had another BB512 in the shop. I took the pick-up off the side of the distributor and installed the pick-up from the BB with no spark into the running 512. The running 512 still ran...pick-up is good.
4. Checking the Ac voltage from the pick-up I see 1.5Ac volts---right on spec for cranking speed output. I checked directly at the box and at the pick-up itself. no differance in voltage. Wire is good.
5. Made my own wireing harness seperate from the cars harness, running individual wires directly from the box to the controlled components. I powered the box up directly from the battery.
I grounded the box directly to the chassis. Still no spark. This eliminates it being a wiring problem.
6. With the original wiring hooked up to the bow I get the following results when testing electricly.
a. Yellow wire----12v with key on engine off.
11v cranking engine....good
b. red wire----because it's a permatune unit there should be nothing there accoring to Lonnie. It will only fire when it sees a crank input.
c. Ground..this is good checked with meter and test light...also to be safe ran a double ground.
d. green wire...seeing 1.5A/C volts at box and then same volatge at the pick terminal itself,when cramking engine.
What the hell is going on with this car?????? I'm about to put it out front of my shop and plant flowers in it!!!
Is there anything else inside this distributor that can fail resulting in a no start problem? I'm at my witts end with ths thing. Any ideas would be a blessing!! If anybody sloves this problem for me..I will go to were ever you live and personaly thank you!!
