this is more of a gripe than anything, nobody in this town carries AC Delco platinum plugs, everybody has to order them and one place cant even order them. the dealership is actually cheaper than anyone else here, rock auto here i come. next week ill be installing my plugs, wires, cap, and rotor, all AC Delco.
before i moved here i worked for o'reilly auto and cant even tell you how many set of those plugs i sold.

Friday on my way home from work I look over and notice antifreeze on the passenger floor board. So today I went out and just looped the heater hose and bypassed the heater core. Next month I'm going back home for a visit, I have a mojave style summitt heater sitting my dads shop ill pick up and install that.

ok, tune up did NOT go as planned.
changed plugs, cap, rotor, wires........ wont start
checked and rechecked firing order, shifted firing order one position each way
used test light and have power coming out of coil and coil wire, tested post on top of cap and no power. so its going in but not out.
put old cap and rotor on, same problem.
changed ignition control module..... still no power out of cap.
i am up for any suggestions, please.
i noticed the inside of the distributor is rusty, could it be the magnetic pickup? oh and the rotor is turning.

Its an external coil HEI not an internal one, the control module has 2 different plugs and they won't go into the wrong positions

ok new update
still not running, i thought maybe the magnetic pickup wasnt working so i threw a new one in and still no go
all i have is a test light so i thought maybe even though im getting power from the coil, maybe it wasnt enough to start it. new coil and still nothing.
by now i basicly have a new ignition system.
then i notice the PO has hacked the wiring harness between the coil and ICM and i have a hot wire from the coil going nowhere and looking like it was pinched between 2 parts (on purpose, insulation was stripped off).
i have a new wiring harnes from the coil to the ICM coming, should be here in 2 days.
again i pull the coil wire from the cap and test the wire with a test light and have power, plug the coil wire back into the cap and pull the #1 wire from the cap, test the post for #1 on the cap and no power.
