Congrats...

Good Jod Speed

Glad you didn't waste your time and money on a NEW dizzy !!!

RidinLow while you're at it replace the cap and rotor and do an ohm check on your plug wires they should fall roughly in the .8 ohm range same as the coil.

Check that you have power (key on)to the positive side of the coil and do the ignitor test (key cranking) while your in there. Also check the secondary coil post for spark with a piece of wire grounded at one end and 1/2" away from the post whille cranking.

Good Luck
