Re: Distributor and Rotor Continuity

what exactly are you trying to test?
lead continuity?
cap continuity?
rotor continuity?
leads should have maybe 2K to 10Kohm resistance each
cap has usually aluminium post that goes from inside (where the spark jumps to from the rotor) to the outside (where the lead connects) should be virtually no resistance between inside and outside
rotor usually has a single piece of metal on top so there should be continuity unless it has got oxidation on it (which will happen normally during operation)
try light sanding with 1200 grit paper on the rotor on the outside...should be virtually no resistance between the bit where the carbon centre post of dizzy touches, to the outside curved bit.
testing from centre lead to any other lead is pointless since there is a gap of about 1mm between rotor and post in the dizzy cap.
lemme know how you go.

ps, you have ignitor/s? checked them? are the reluctor pickups the right way round? are your coil/s good?
