Ok, I might as well throw another curve ball on this already long thread I started, here goes,
I'm still waiting on my second new coil to be sent, should arrive maybe tomorrow.
While I'm waiting, I decided to go in the garage and try and start the truck. Turned on ignition switch, pulled out choke very slightly, hit the floor starter with my thumb, and the truck fires up on the first turn over of the motor!!! Idles absolutely smoothly. I believe this tells me the Pertronix ignition I installed is doing its job correctly. I believe also, that a full 24 volts is getting to the ignitor. Cap and rotor doing their job correctly. What the heck gives here? I'd like to think the coil was cool and this is what happened, but it was cool on the 4th of July when I went to start the truck to go to parade.
More help please. Do I put in the new coil when it arrives, or am I just going goofy here? Help me out guys, I don't know where to go from here.
