Alternator or seized engine.

Good luck.

Test arc jump (length) at distributor's coil (ICM) and ignitor with a screwdriver. Google search Ezone + coil test first so you do it safely.

How can it be a seized engine? And the alternator would not give me power like the feeling noise when I put in the key???
