Electronic Ignition: Testing: Notes

NOTE: If a suitable tester (C-4166 with adapter C-4166-1 or C-4166A, or tester C-4503 with adapter C-4503-3) is available, use tester and follow manufacturer's instructions. If tester is not available, proceed as follows:
CAUTION: When removing or installing wiring connector, ignition switch must be in "OFF" position.
  1. Check that all secondary cables, primary wire at coil, and ballast resistor are not loose and not cracked excessively. Use a voltmeter with a 20, 000 ohm/volt rating and an ohmmeter which uses a 1 1/2 volt battery for its operation.
  2. Check calibration of both meters. Check and record battery voltage reading using volt meter. Proceed with following tests.
