Hall Sender

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

He must be low on meds again.. Sheesh.
Check the center coil wire. remove it from the dist cap and hold it about 
1/4" from a good ground. Crank the engine. If spark then ignition is not the 
problem.
No spark?
Check the black wire to the coil. With the switch in the on position it 
should read +12v.
No? go to the back of the ignition switch. Remove that pesky cover, put the 
meter lead in the black wire socket hole (there should be 2 wires, one to 
the coil and one to the dash). Measure there.

Good luck
