Test 15-Step B, Checking For 8 Volt to Pick-Up Coil

1. With distributor reference pickup coil disconnected, connect a voltmeter between terminal No. 1 of connector and ground, then turn ignition switch to Run position.
2. If voltmeter reads 7.5 to 9 volts, replace distributor pickup coil.
CAUTION: Before replacing the pick-up make sure the terminals in the distributor harness connector are not spread apart so that they cannot touch the pick up coil connector pins.
3. If voltmeter indicates no voltage, locate and repair open in wire between terminal No. 1 and wiring harness splice.
