Hey dudes.
Quick question, if you please. ive called mechanics, friends, dads, friends dads, uncles, neibhors, etc. Im at a total loss. OK,
There is no spark at the spark plug when i pull the plug, ground it to the valve cover and turn over the engine. when i pull the spark plug away from the cover, I believe i Max out the Coil, forcing it to work harder, and then i get a spark from the plug to cover. Replacing the plug, i can do the same thing at the distributor, pull the coil wire from the cap, create a gap, and the engine runs pretty well. the timing may be off a bit, carb not totally dialed in etc, but itll run rather well.
the points are adjusted.
the spark wires are new,
the plugs are relatively new,
cap and rotor are new,
points are new.
The Coil is NEW as well, which is what people are telling me was the problem, but now there is a new coil.
so............. There we are. I need to get back to work and that truck is my ticket.
Any Ideas?
Peace.
