I just completed installing the Ignitor II and Flame Thrower coil. When I went to start the car, the engine cranks but does not start. I had already installed new plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. What should I do to troubleshoot the problem? Thanks.

I would definitely make sure you have all your connections plugged in and nothing else came loose while you were in the engine bay. Also, check your the ground wire for the distributor points plate....if those come off or get broken, it can cause start issues.
In my experience with Pertronix, the dizzy position that you had with points may not be the correct position after Pertronix gets installed. I've had to advance mine some to get it to start..... Doesn't the Ignitor II require better spark plug wires? |
