Datsun pickup Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 The black/blue wire from the resistor to the tachometer has 2.8 volts. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Is there a question here? If the tach is working that's good enough. With the ignition on your meter is reading through the tach resistor to and through the coil primary to the positive side which has battery power on it. It will read something till the distributor module grounds the negative side of the coil and then removes the ground to fire the coil. The tach will 'see' a constant 2.8v? that drops to zero and back up to 2.8v every time the coil fires. Quote Link to comment
Datsun pickup Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 I don’t have spark on either side now and I don’t know how to fix it. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Was engine running and now it isn't?? Put a spark plug in the coil output wire and ground the plug to the head by holding it Have someone turn the engine with the starter. Do the intake and the exhaust side coils. You are now sure that there is absolutely no spark? Quote Link to comment
Datsun pickup Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 I fixed the no spark issue, it was a loose wire terminal, but now my 6 month old fuel pump died, so I am still trying to get it running. Quote Link to comment
Datsun pickup Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 It cranks but won’t start up. it has spark, fuel, and air, but there is something stopping it from running. it also backfires consistently. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Is the choke closed? Quote Link to comment
Datsun pickup Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 No, the choke wasn’t closed. It runs now. The timing was 180 out. Quote Link to comment
Datsun pickup Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 I need a driver or passenger side seat belt latch, preferably in blue, but any color would also work. if anyone has one or if you know where I can get one, that would be great. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Only way a distributor can be 180 out is if the oil pump was removed and the drive spindle was dropped out and put in wrong. You mean you set the wires in a clockwise firing order direction but should have been counter clockwise. 1 and 4 would have been correct but 2 and 3 swapped. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 dist mount could have been reintalled 180.Im thinking plug wires off Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Mount can be one of two positions but the distributor can only fit the spindle one way. Quote Link to comment
