battery killer

Thanks Mark. Everything in the distributor looks ok, nothing rotted. The multi meter is auto ranging to 20Mohms, can just set it to Ohm test and go. it does have resolutions listed in the manual for ranges. Just an example 20.00Mohms has a resolution of 10Kohms. What is the correct goop to use under the ignition control mod? The manual just says silicone grease, dont want to fry new parts. Only bright side if i have to pull the whole thing is it should be easier to remove the snapped screw that holds the ignition control mod down.

Edit: manual tells me if i move the pick-up coil plug around and get variations in resistance the harness is damaged. I can get all sorts of values doing this....

I had a similar issue in an old firebird. Wires coming off the pickup coil were both broken inside. Left me stranded at rush hour at the worse possible intersection on a nice 100+* day. Good news is it started back up after i pushed it through the intersection. ;)
