I am trying to figure out why my 83 Merc. GM with a 302 will not start. I know it is an electrical problem. Today I pulled the coil to distributor wire. I noticed a bit of white powder on the inside of the coil. Do I need a new coil ?? Thanks

Could be corrosion, is the coil making spark?Originally posted by Mainemantom View Post -
I don't think it is making spark. I will be replacing the green wire to the coil tomorrow as it looks crimped. The powder on the coil seems odd. Comment

a voltmeter will tell you everything you need to know about the health of coil. you can also test it to see if it's receiving 12volts with the ignition on.Give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will promptly forget that he once did not know, and proceed to call anyone who asks, a n00b and flame them on the boards for being stupid.Comment

they often get a little crusty, but as long as the terminal isn't rotted off, it usually doesn't mean much other than you need to clean it off.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
