Well, I've almost completed a mechanical overhaul of my 73 standard, but have run into a major problem... I'm trying to run through the standard static timing procedure, but the test light stays on constantly, regardless of how I rotate the distributor (a 009, which appeared to be working properly when the car was last run about a month ago). I switched out the light for a multimeter, and it reads a constant 12 volts no matter what I do (though it does fluctuate a tiny bit if I rotate the distributor or crank). I double-checked the point gap, and observed the points opening and closing as normal, with no effect on the voltage reading. I've double-checked the connections on the coil and they're all right, and I normally have no difficulties performing a simple tune-up. What do you gurus think may be going on here? Thanks in advance! (bad pun alert)
