I finished up my swap quite awhile ago and can't seem to figure out why I don't have spark. I was doing some searching and just read that I should have swapped the primary and secondary wires on the coil pack?

All I thought I had to do was swap firing order with the plug wires. I have a 6bolt/2g head combo by the way. Thanks, Craig

I never had to swap the coil pack wires ever, only had to swap the firing order once. what CAS are you using? 90? 91-94?

I have a black top CAS.

Crank it over 10 times or so and quickly pull a spark plug. If theres fuel all over it then it may be a bad coil pack or transistor pack, if its dry, you ###### got a bad CAS. For some reason i gave seen the blacktop ones go bad more often than the greentop. I actually just had the same problem with a 6 bolt swap 2g that was full of deamons, LOL, the CAS was bad, and it was a black top.

My mechanic said that I don't have fuel either. Plus I stole the CAS off of my little brothers 1g and it tested the same as thetwo other ones that I have. I think maybe a have a short in the harness? Who knows. Anyways, keep throwing out the suggestions SBR Joe, I appreciate the help.

The is the second shop it's been to, thousands in build money, countless hours of my time, 8 months later (I work slow) and I just want to drive my car.
