I know some of you are mechanics maybe you can help me, i have a 76cj7 258 6cyl auto it's had new dist,wires,plugs,cap,rotor,pick up coil, and spark control modual but still no spark, the modual might be bad but i don't know how to test it, it has 4.3 volts going to the dist. its a 2 wire plug.

check and see if your gettin spark off your coil first.

i had that same problem with a similar jeep. do ya have the wires going to the distributer hooked up right?

Last night i got on a jeep forum and a guy sent me a 2 page testing prosedures on a 76 cj7 and he thinks ita a bad modual also, it did have a bad trigger in the distributor but replaced it, and he did send me a very simple and easy to follow color diagram. i will get it going this weekend. I still think it was a good buy Mr. Skilletky plus i got to meet you.

i am glad you are having better luck than i did. was it hard to replace the trigger?

it had a bad what i call a pickup coil and a broken trigger, trigger had a very small snap ring down in the center of it, it was $13.00 but then i realised the pickup coil had no circut it is $55.00 and i found a rebuilt compleate dist on ebay for $59.00 so i just bought it. looks like the jeep has a new or rebuilt engine,trans,brakes,radiator,plugs,wires,cap,rotor,coil,and i have bought headlight rings,side marker lights,tail lights front blinker lences,aluminium 6in diamond plate rockers, i'm makin front and rear bumpers, and painting it O D green,black wheels. i hope to have all this done by christmas, thats why i need it running,
