Re: HEI distributor problems

Just got in from the shop and here's what I've found.
KWMech, yes ground wire at the coil is attached.
SouthCity, voltage at the distributor is 12V with key on, 9V when cranking engine, and 13.8-9V running.
VetteVet, I have a one wire alt. 100Amp Powermaster.
One thing I noticed when I tested voltage while running was the voltage would drop to 4 or 2V just for a millisecond and the be right back to 13.8. I checked the running voltage at both the distributor plug and at the fuse panel bulk head connector at the firewall. Wiring is new AAWclassic update for HEI and one wire alt.
