thanx txgreasemonkey im goin to try this out asap.. and yes the light stays on all the time now bcuz i have grounded out the green black wire from the main realy... i wasnt gettin the intial click at my relay so i started checking out my my main relay with my test light and came to find out that when i tested the green/black wire it clicked so i figured id ground it out but im still not gettin any spark. so im guessin that my ecu is bad cuz im not gettin a ground from the ecu. also i sent my distributor to the people i bought it from thinkin that my ignitor was bad but as soo as i get it back i will do the k-test.. thanx for everything

To perform the K-Test, you won't need your distributor.

dj16bit i was having that same problem.. but what i came to find out was that my ecu ground was loose. you can locate the ecu ground on the thermostat housing. and the only way i found it was because of a step i was following in the k-test.
