I have a 1974 1.8 914 (L-jet). I set the point gaps last night, and the engine still just turns over. What was wondering is, if anyone has any suggestions on what would make my car have no spark. As of now im up for exploring all options. The plugs are good. If anyone has any suggestions on what i should check i would appreciate them greatly. Thanks,
Adam

I was also wondering at if someone could give me a brief idea of the relationship between the distributor and the ignition system, and how they send signals.


distributor is spun by the cam, it opens the points, the rotor sends the signal to the right cylinder(whichever it is pointing to on the cap)

how an ignition system works
