Hi,

I have just changed the motor in my N10 Datsun Pulsar and I am getting no spark from the coil.

By using a teat lamp on the + and - on the coil, I am getting power to them. But as I crank the engine, no spark is coming from the coil. I have changed coil/plugs/leads/points/condenser/Distributor and I even took my kill switch out to see if that was causing the problem.

I am assuming the wiring is correct as I am getting power to the coil, but I could be wrong.

I am guessing that the white ceramic thingy next to the coil is the ballast resistor?? Is this true, if so, Can this be causing the problem.

I strongly appreciate your help.. :)

Try running 12v directly from battery to the coil, this will eliminate the rest of the wiring/ballast resistor problems. If this works, you will know where to look.

Not sure in you case, but most cars bypass the ballast resistor during cranking, does it "want to run" until you stop cranking? If so the ballast will be you problem.

It does not want to fire at all... So..

There are two connections going to the coil. One was the wire used for the kill switch and the other is coming from the ballast resistor.

Do i disconnect both and just put a wire from battery + to coil +...

ok,

It appeared to be the wire inside the distributor which goes from the condensor to the points.

I used this wire on both dizzys because it "looked" better....

lol

Now to putting the driveshafts in... :(

Thanks for the help mate..
