Default New Distributor Time ??

Looks like I'm in the market for at least distributor pieces.

Mine has power in but nothing out.

Is there a C.A.R.B. approved distributor that is very good or should I simply replace the module and coil and call it good?

Have a 1990 with 6 speed.

Take the module and have it checked, sounds like the module to me.

Mail box now has space.

Okay I installed a new module, Coil and cap and rotor today, $160.00 and still no spark.

So just the pick up left to do.
Should of purchased a new distributor but didn't want to wait 5 days.
I'm not a happy camper this evening.

The cap is marked Bat and Tac. And yes the hot wire is going to the battery side.

Any other suggestions?

Ralph
