Alex, If you have a VOM (analog type volt-ohm meter with a needle, not digital), you could try putting the positive lead on the output of the k/s and the negative to block ground, set it to the lowest voltage scale (probably millivolts), whack the head or block near the k/s with a hammer or wrench, and see if the needle jumps. Or, if you happen to have an oscilloscope, you could use that, instead. --Holland Forced Failure Racing Don't Ask MotorSports [email protected] a2_16V List Owner [email protected] San Jose, California _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
