88 b2200 no spark? Stumped
88 Mazda b2200. Just rebuilt the motor and did a Frame off start from scratch deal. Over the last few months with countless hours on the truck and in a Chilton book. I'm stumped. I really need some help here. I have a weber 38 so the original carb and ecu are gone. Leaving only necessary wires is what I was told. Finally ready for start up no spark. Had juice to hot side of the coil though. I read some info by a fellow named cusser. He had some great insights. I started at the ignition switch, brand with key and tumbler.new coil, brand new distributor with multiple icons. Still no start. I get a small spark when switching from run position to accessory spot.
sorry if I'm rambling, back to why I changed ignition switch originally. I pulled necessary wires and hot wired the truck. Bypassing the switch and it started. Multiple times too. So new switch an we are back to no spark unless cycling key.
my "spark" is from the distributor end of the coil wire. Grounded a stab light and got a small arc from toggling key.
I am burnt out on this truck. Lol I'm ready for this thing to be on the ground and moving. I know there are some knowledgeable guys on here. I really hope one could shed some insight 🙏. Thanks
