So I had the 84 Brat at a friends house In his shop so I could paint it. Anyhoo I was letting it warm up Before I drove it home, after about 20 min or so the car just cut off. No stuttering or odd noise it just stopped. It has fuel. I even drained the tank and refilled it. What I don’t have is spark. I have checked and replaced the coil but that doesn’t help. (It has power). Replaced the wires the cap and rotor. The ECM is telling me that I don’t have ignition pulse.
My distributor has the four wire type of pickup which I can’t seem to find anywhere. Can I replace this with a two wire set up? Or am I missing something?
This was my grandfather’s car which was purchased new in 84. He can’t drive now so he gave it to my daughter. I just spent seven months rebuilding the thing, fixing 35 years of rust and some bad body work from a rear end hit and of course new paint.
Thanks everyone.
