no fire Sign In

I have a 1984 v6 (2.8) carb camaro. My son drove it home yesterday with no problems. Went out to go to town and car would not start, just crank over. i checked wires under carb, all good. I pulled distributor and cleaned, i pulled coil wire and cleaned both ends.I then replaced the coil. I pulled coil wire at distrib. and put spark plug in and cranked over. good spark. unhooked plug wire from spark plug in motor and pluged spark plug in and cranked, no spark. any help would be appreciated

Re: no fire Sign In

The ignition module was a common failure on those.

Re: no fire Sign In

No, you can replace the module pretty easily.. ... a couple plugs and 2 screws

You sure you don't have carbon tracking in the cap or the rotor is grounding out in the distributor? Ohm check the wires should be less than 10K per foot.

Re: no fire Sign In

So, it was a bad module after all?
