I'm converting a Toyota 20r to an HEI ignition system. I've got it hooked up up exactly as in the picture below with the ground going to the two bolts holding it in place.
The module is a pertronix flame thrower III and the coil is of the same name.
I've checked the ground which is good, the power which is good in both run and start positions. I've checked the impedance of the magnetic pickup in the distributor which is within the proper range.
However, with the ignition on, there is no current going through the coil. Shouldn't the "c" post on the module be grounded when you turn on the ignition so as to energize the coil? I'm worried I may have damaged something by torquing down the bolts securing it to a fender.
I'm getting no spark at the plugs or directly from the coil. Any ideas what might be wrong with either the ignition module or something else?
