  3. If voltmeter reading is at least 7 volts, replace distributor reference pick-up. Before replacing pick-up, ensure distributor harness connector terminals are not spread apart causing a poor connection. Also ensure distributor rotor turns while cranking engine. If voltmeter reading is zero volts, repair Orange wire to connector cavity No. 1 for an open circuit to wiring harness splice.
  4. With ignition on, connect positive voltmeter lead to distributor connector cavity No. 3. Connect negative voltmeter lead to distributor connector cavity No. 2. If voltmeter reading is at least 4 volts, replace SMEC.
