Having an issue where i have no spark. I bought a 4 pin mmodule and have wired it up , but havent got any spark. Have attached some photos hoping they help.


 
Is this a bench test? If so, your spark plug doesn't look like it's earthed so you won't get a spark.
 
I had power to + on coil and everything that needed earthing was earthed. when the 3 on the block was earthed with an LED test light , it would spark m but with dizzy spinning it wouldnt.
 
Really getting desperate now. I have reconncted the opriginal coil and dizzy , and the coil is throwing a fat spark. Can anyone tell me if the dizzy should be reading any ohms , as when i connect up a multi meter it reads as an open circuit. I need to know if the dizzy is faulty or the new module.
 
I would check your air gap in the distributor making sure there is no excessive play in the shaft thus creating gap issues. Then cap condition inc carbon brush, making sure it is present and sticking out far enough.
Then I would disconnect the two wire plug from the distributor and do a ohms test. It should not be an open circuit. Let me know the values and I will try and recall what they should be

Did an ohms test yesterday , it showed open circuit. Should i be testing with the lobe pointing at the pickup? Cap and all contacts are in servicable condition. Had a sparky look at dizzy and he said it is ok.
 
Providing your meter is working and set correctly you should see somewhere between 500-1500 ohms, it doesn't matter if the pick up is in line of the toothed reluctor, that only matters if your using a scope to look for waveform.
 
Found the issue. Stumbled onto an electronic dizzy for the original motor , and attached to it was a bosch module. Connected the whole lot up to original 4 cyl dizzy and got spark , well , my body did!! d/c the dizzy and plugged the rover one in and nothing. Changed back to 4 cyl dizzy and swapped wires over to new module and spark!!! not me this time :p. So module is alive and kicking , dizzy is dead , so anyone in ipswich have or know someone with a working dizzy? or even point me in the direction of a new replacement part that wont cost me a liver and 2 sheep?
 
Hi Gus,

T.R Spares in Sydney will definitely have new distributors and quite possibly second hand ones too.
