By the looks of the 77 232 in my CJ, it has a resistor before the coil. I get 12.8 volts into it and 12 volts out of the resistor. I'm not getting any spark and I suspect it's a bad coil.
A friend gave me an Accel 140001 (http://accel-ignition.com/original-supe ... oints.html) coil that he had kicking around from a waggy project he sold. I'm wondering if I need to run the resistor with this accel coil, or if I can run it straight off the ignition wire. The instructions (http://accel-ignition.com/media/instruc ... 140001.pdf) say to run an Accel resistor (http://accel-ignition.com/ballast-resistor.html) with your original resistor. But then again, I think that is assuming you are running a points distributor. I wouldn't think my 75 with a 77 motor would be running points.
Also, I got the coil used with no adapter on top. How can I rig it up to fit the fitting on the wire from the distributor to the coil?
Hopefully this solves my no spark issue and and I can move on to the carb.
