I finally got my Omega to run, but it's running a little rough. After some under hood time, I found 2 plugs were fouled and were not firing. Turns out someone had the plug wires wrong. I put in new plugs and wires and now have no spark. I have power to the distributor...I added a new ignition module and rotor.... Still no spark.... I added a new cap and coil...Still no spark....The only thing I haven't replaced is the electric pick-up in the distributor. Going to pull the distributor tomorrow, and replace the pick-up. If it still doesn't run, I have a 1974 Omega, with a great body, 350/350 with a big cam for sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..

Pulled the distributor and bench-tested it. Plenty of spark. I also have spark to the distributor while cranking the engine... Anyone??.. I'm going to check #1 position on compression stroke with the position on the rotor tomorrow.

Engines need air, fuel, and spark to run. Its got to be 1 of those 3 thats missing.
