    Need help, I put a new electronic distributor in my f-head so I didn't have to mess with the points, the old distributor grounded out and left me a foot. I put it in on 5 before tdc, new plugs wires cap and coil, but no spark. Ground is clean and grounded I have power while its cranking, any ideas

    No there's 13 volts at the - and + and the middle post or high volt side on all the coils

    Your electronics is not triggering. Check the plug-in at the module.

    I bought the same distributor and had the same problem no spark on my 58 cj5 F head. I sent back the distributor for another one. I han't tried yet putting the new new one on yet. I will report back.
