How do you test a pick up module in a 302 distributor?

To test a pickup module in a Ford 302 distributor, first disconnect the distributor from the ignition system. Use a multimeter to check the resistance across the pickup's terminals; it should typically read between 500 to 1,500 ohms. If the resistance is outside this range, the pickup may be faulty. Additionally, you can test the signal output while cranking the engine with an oscilloscope to ensure it produces a square wave signal.
