Checking why car won't start, pulled the wire from the condenser and when I tried to place it back on the coil i got sparks. Could the condender be bad or something grounding in the dizzy?
which side of the coil ya plugging it into?
Condeser, and tack -
ignition +
Large black wire goes to + side of coil. Condensor and tach goes to the - side of coil
opps, I read your last post wrong. My bad.
Have ya checked the points?
I haven't checked gap, they do separate
Point gap shouldn't matter as long as they are not burned together. If you hook up the consensor wire and it starts to melt, or smoke comes from the diz, ya got something hooked up wrong, or a dead short.
Nothing melts or smokes, car just wont start. cranck fine just wont start. That when I tried diconnecting the condenser wire. When I put it back to the - terminal I got the spark at the terminal. If there is a ground would it be in the dizzy?
It should not spark when plugging it in. Do you have spark from the coil wire with everything connected?
I checked the wirt from pulg 1, while cranking I got a very week looking spark
Ok, go check the point gap, or use a dwell meter. Too much or not enough dwell will cause a no start condition
