After all of the problems (all electrical) I've had with this car, it died on me again. Turned over and all other electrical worked (including fuel pump), but wouldn't start. Guessed no spark and had it towed home.
Next day I pulled the coil wire to check it and it had great spark. I turned the key and it fired right up. I let it run for 10 minutes then backed it out of the garage and it died again. Pulled the coil wire off and had the lovely wife (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) crank it over again and got nothing! All of the ignition components are new and I have installed a Pertronix kit. I looked for the points that came with the dizzy, but couldn't find them. Any ideas? Mike |

Could be a coil as well. Maybe the tranny ground strap? Is the pertronix still adjusted correctly with the correct air gap and the sensor ring is pushed all the way down? Did you take the distributor out recently and not get it back in all the way?
That should keep you busy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
