Ok guys here is an update, I bought a new module on the way home from work, threw it in (with grease) & guess what? still no spark. Now I am starting to lose it. Sun Tuned thanks for joining in, to answer your questions. I washed the car, including engine bay, water may have got in there , but tonight I pulled the dizzy & took it to a friends place that also posts here "Geoff" & he tested it on the bench, it seems to have a good spark, he tested my original module & it was ok also. Now to the pick up coil, down here there is not much info & a lot of confusion regarding this type of dizzy as there were no Holdens built with them, so we rely on people like yourselves & enthusiasts here like Geoff. My local speed shop only sells the one pickup coil which is a yellow plug, my original coil in cap is red & white. Unfortunately the original pickup coil did not have a plug. With the pickup coil again, yes this was a cold reading. The only thing old in this dizzy now is the capacitor & wireing from plug to module & I will have a search for them next. Please remember guys we tested this on the bench with positive results. Geoff is coming to my place to see if its my wire up job. Car is a 1974 Formula, it had a twin point mallory in it, which served faithfully in it for the last 16 years, Unfortunately fuel here is getting worse, & even with 98 octane the plugs foul. Time for a better spark! anything else you can think of or other tests please let me know.Regarding my response time back to your questions, please be patient as I am writing this at 10pm local time in Sydney.
Thanks Frank.
