OK.. situatation as follows. '87 5ktq 186k mi - (was) Gisli's car if anyone
was interested.

 Lack of (sufficiently strong) spark... replaced cap, rotor, wires, etc.
with known good components. Still no go. Weak spark is evident when
distributor is bypassed. Ignitor voltage goes to 0.00V where the bentley
specifies 0.02v... Coil primary and secondary resistance within spec. Can
anyone say with relative probablity what the issue is? I'm leaning towards
the ignitor/coil but would like to make certain before spending $200 (!).
Anyone have good used components for sale?

Thanks,
-tom
