- 4.3 twins with Cobra drives
I have a 1988 270 with twin 4.3 engines. The PO had changed out the point ignition to electronic. I replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor, & coil. When I hook up the timing light, I am getting no spark to #1, & sporadic spark to #3. I bought a new Mallory mech adv electronic distributor. In the instruction manual there is a sheet saying with OMC engines I need to put in resistors in the gray wire coming off the coil going to the shift box.. How do I test to see if I need to put in the resistors? What would be different from the old dist? Thanks!
