Hey all,
I have a 73 85hp Chrysler which I converted the Magnapower ignition to an automotive coil. So basically ran the blue wire to the positive side of the coil, ran the white tach wire to the negative side of the coil and then then negative side of the coil to the points on the distributor and added a condenser on the points as well. The issue I'm having is a weak spark on all 3 cylinders. When I connect the spark tester to the coil I'm getting a 15000v spark. But the spark at the plugs is very weak. The points in the cap and the rotor are sanded lightly... Any ideas? I'm guessing the points are ok since it's firing ok at the coil?
