Do you have any electrical power to the car? (lights, horn, radio) If you don't, start at the battery, fuses, and ignition switch. (in that order)

No spark huh?

-When turning the key ON, do you have 12V at the coil?
-Has one of the wires come out of the +ve battery post?
-The plug on the back of ignition switch fully seated?
-The screw that holds down the points on the distributor, tight?
-Are you getting spark from the coil? Bad wire from coil?
-Ground strap from trans to frame horn snapped? loose?


PM me your phone/cell#.

Pete

Alright, heres what you should check:

You've checked to make sure that when you look down the carbs and you pump the linkage you see fuel squirting down?

Checked the plug by grounding it while turning the car over? car turns over, lights work?


So no spark; checked wires? Run a voltmeter across the coil when turned on? all other wires are connected properly? next: check the cap for cracks, checked the contacts inside it? check the little sprung carbon button that touched agaist the center of the rotor? have you checked to see if the points were loose? do they open and close when you turn the motor? Checked the condenser and it's connection, both to the points, and to the coil? has the distributer moved? when open the "number one line" should be roughly the 5 o'clock position.

It may be entirely possible that somone has wired in another fuse in or near the engine bay. Follow all wires from the engine.

If you've done all that, then i'll have to think about it some more lol

best of luck bro,

Alex
