I'm dense. To what precisely should the read and black leads be connecting to? I'm assuming you mean like through the end of the coil -> distributor wire, but which lead goes to what?

This is the simple way
or
My $200 voltmeter only goes to 999 volts. Hard to read spark output that should be 20K to 40K. We use a lab scope to read spark output.
If you got spark, spray some carb spray in the throttle body and see if it fires. I have replaced more fuel pumps in those trucks than coils.

Well, that is why " I " have a spark tester. Ben will have to do it the redneck way.
Good point though! I try to put the screwdriver/plug in a spot that it will stay, so I don't have to hold it.

I had a buddy who shorted it out his PA messing with a MSD coil. I wasn't there but I guess he was close to the body of the car or was leaning over the fender and it went through his board shorts he was probably wearing. Hahahahahaha

Put the red wire through the tape on the plug wire or coil where the plug wire connects and put the black wire to ground on the car.
