ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:
http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=144
Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    You said you had spark at the coil but not at the plugs. That likely means either the cap/rotor or the wires.
    So to make sure it was something in the distributor I had my buddy Edgar (dreamability) borrow me his spare dizzy. Thank you bro

    Slapped it on after work and she fired right up!

    Went to vatozone to get a cap and rotor, installed it on my old dizzy, installed the dizzy, fired right up!

    Man I feel stupid!! All this because of a $15 cap and rotor!!

    Really didn't think it was this all along because like I said, the old ones were only 4-5 months old. And the way the car just stopped starting, I didn't know they could just fail like that. Lesson learned!!

    Thank you all for your help. I really appreciate it.

    Excited to be driving her to work again in the morning

    And I look forward to installing the Tein Street advance's that just arrived for her, this weekend

      Can you show us pics of your old cap and rotor?

      Edit: I’m just curious to see what the failure mode was.

        Here are the bad cap and rotor. I think the rotor took most of the hit.
