NO Spark

Asked by 83boxchevy Jan 16, 2016 at 05:17 PM about the 1983 Chevrolet C/K 10

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I need a little advice for my truck. It was
running fine then all of a sudden it just
stopped and wouldn't restart. I got it home, i
checked for fuel and it's getting to the
motor.  So then I checked for spark, and no
dice. I took the distributor apart and had the
parts store test the module, it was fine. Then
I replaced the coil in the distributor because
of heavy corrosion, but it still has no spark.
The motor turns over just fine, and it is a
350. Any ideas on where I should go from
here?

Check the cap and rotor. On those the rotor will burn threw the center were it makes contact with the coil. Take the rotor off and look underneath it and if you see a burn mark (carbon black area in the center) replace the cap and rotor, the rotor at least. So you had the module tested, did you look at the pole piece? (the coil pick-up). There are two wires that run to it and one usually breaks off.
