Ok 78 futura 302. 10k into engine. Started a crazy shake the column at idle about a year ago.. duraspark 2 factory. New plugs wires cap rotor 2 years ago. Checked everything and found ok. Took the pickup coil out of the distributor. The outer part with the windings sits very loose on the inner steel section. When I ohm it out at the plug and wiggle the winding part ohms go from 400-600 sometimes 1.6k and even 0 ohms.. Are all these coils made that way? I am thinking to replace the pickup coil as it may be sending screwy signals to the module and making the idle uneven.. any thoughts?
I replaced my intake gaskets this year. 3rd time 1250 paper gaskets suck only last 6 months before soaking up coolant. I went to the s3 steel core. and retorqued 4 times after every drive. I checked vac leaks etc all good except my secondary shaft on my carb the teflon seals need to be replaced.. it is a crazy shake like it has a 600 lift cam.. it is running a xe274h so should not be quite that choppy.. any thoughts on the pickup coil I do not have a new one on hand as can not buy in Canada have to order online and wait a couple weeks. Home depot sells them in usa for **** sakes!! They do not even know what a pickup coil is here and keep talking about an ignition coil...
