Okay, spent last weekend at a car show and drove about 300 or so miles roundtrip. (won best Pantera, thank you very much) Monday, I went to back the car out of the garage to wash the road dust off and it wouldn't start (some best Pantera) Anyway, I diagnosed it as no spark, It has a complete MSD ignition system, 6A box, super blaster coil, Pro Billet distributor. I followed the procedure for checking spark and the coil at the ignition box and it all checked out. I called MSD and they told me to use my OHM meter on the distributor and the reading should be about 400 -1400 ohms and mine was 1105. They overnighted the magnetic pickup switch to me figuring this was all that was left. I opened up the distributor cap to put the pickup in and the contacts were caked with heavy green corrosion that would scrape off with my fingernail. How could I get that much corrosion in basically a 24 hour period? Is my distributor toast? thanks
