The engine: 2056 w/dual Webers; Mallory Unilite Distributor

The scene: caught in a severe downpour

The issue: started up but ran slightly rougher than usual but did smooth out. Drove ~3 miles home and, about a block from my house, I heard a "pop" and car died. Not sure if it was a carb backfire or something else. Coasted down the road and into the garage.

My relay board did not have a cover on it so I figured something got wet and caused the unilite module to pop. Ordered a new module and installed it. Still no start. Tested the module and it tested as good.

I then swapped out the relay and then the relay board and same result. Turn key, starter turns, but no start. Fuel pump is working. Coil tests OK at 3.5ohm across (+) and (-) Fuses on relay board and under dash are all good.

What else should I check? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Thanks,
steve

Checking spark takes seconds, the quickest way to rule out half the potential rabbit trails. Pull a plug wire, stick a plug in it, ground the threads against the case, crank the starter, look for spark.

If you don't have a human helper, one of these is handy to have around:
