Reply to "Battery negative put on positive battery terminal"

I found allot of info on the Petronix troubleshooting site - thanks to Steve who called me from Orange County. i have a “ready to run” billet distributor from MSD. The similar magnetic pickup technology has existed for quite awhile. Very simple if you examine it - a switch. I was a novice a few days ago and injected unnecessary money in replacing the starter, solenoid and coil. I now have backup parts😊. I had a faulty volt meter that led me on a goose chase. I suggest checking your volt meter accuracy before testing. Once I had accurate volt results, the distributor was isolated as the problem. Bench testing and checking the resistance led to the decision that the MSD magnetic pickup was dead. Need to send it back for a rebuild.
