Re: [T3] not running


<x-flowed>>

Check the resistance of the rotor. It should be 3000-5000 ohms. Check for cracks in the distributor cap and rotor. Check the carbon brush in the center of the cap. It should move freely, and not show signs of arching.



the rotor resistance is ~5000. i could see no visible cracks anywhere. and the center post thing in the cap looked and moved good too.

points are new, points plate ground wire tested good. how would i know if the condenser is good or not?

i also forgot to mention that the car has sat for about 3- 4 months, and ran great when parked, i meant to go run it once in a while, but never did.
