Subject:      NVC - ...but HELP anyway
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

My amends up front. My brother in Congress, AZ asks:

"Has anybody had experience with electronic ignition such as Comp-u-fire,
the
one with a coil, and a sending unit inside the dist.? Have you fried one?
How? Can you check or test to make certain the "unit" is good or bad? I have
12 volts to the coil but no spark at the plugs. I am also sending a picture
to show how easy it is to check, change, trace the wiring, I do believe my
problem is in the wiring....but then again??  Any ideas would be appreciated
as I am out of ideas"......Thanks Les

This set up is on a Pinto engine in a sand rail (if it helps, his son Mike
has a 4-seater rail with a vw turbo generating 230 hp). He put it back
together after a frame fix and paint, and when he started it it would not
stop so he pulled the coil wire and then couldn't get it to restart. Thus,
the above HELP request.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. He's headed to Glamis next weekend
(10/22) and would like to take his rail, not his quad. Please send any info,
advice, suggestions to me pmail and I'll forward.
