    Ok I’ve tested 6 NAPA wires, these are the results: 6,000 ohms/ft 7,000 ohms/ft 9,000 ohms/ft 10,000 ohms/ft 13,000 ohms/ft 9,000...

    Yeah these things are junk, they’re NAPA brand, I’ve tested all of them now. All over the board, most are 2-2 1/2ft long. I’m getting...

    Thank you, let me know what you get, deciding if I should get a new set of acdelco wires.

    I ohm tested a couple spark plug wires. They seem to be crazy high resistance. I had to set my ohm meter to read 200k because 20k was...

    So really even if a couple of the spark plug wires have enough voltage to escape the coil, if I had a good coil it won’t escape it no...

    Yeah I meant coil not distributor to answer your first question lol. And yeah I agree that it’s not all the cylinders. Probably one or...

    What would cause too high of a spark voltage? Also I have not checked the wires with an ohmmeter, I did just replace them about 2-3...

    Just tested the 12V coil wire again, its not losing voltage at all anymore, so that's good. Now I am starting to get suspect of the...

    I don’t believe it to be the ignition coil itself, I’ve tried 4 different ones at this point. The original distributor was literally...

    I ended up finding the issue. There's a short somewhere in the red wire on the gray connector going into the coil. The red wire should...

    Thanks for the info guys! This may have to take the back burner for a bit as I will need equipment to burn a chip. Still something that...
