Coil Failure? 200 1982

So, if the signal pulse can originate in the distributor, are you saying that I shouldn't be able to test the coil (by disconnecting the coil wire at the distributor) like I would test the spark at the spark plugs? And that the problem could be in the distributor?

Based on your input, and other research that I have done, here's my plan of action:

1. Check the wiring harness at the ECU,
2. Take off the dist Cap and take a look in there,
3. Trace wires leading out of the coil and the dist,
4. Check all other wiring, especially near the coil.

Thanks,
Ish
