I am on the garage pc... ......I just did an extra ohm-test on pins 8 and 9, and there's nothing, nada....a few times I got a brief "181.3" reading (for less than a second), but then nothing. So I am guessing (based on physical condition also) that its dead. I doubt its the bracket not being close enough, I hand rotated the engine today...and it looks to be VERY close...so now I suppose I will order a new pickup.... *casts money into the pit.

Replacing that thing does not look like fun.....oh well, its worth it for a working gauge.
