New here. I was wondering if someone can help me out. Have 1953 deuce 6x6 302 GMC which has lost it's fire. Bought the truck from a friend that had it for about 30 years. We had a couple of stuck valves, welded a few new teeth on the flywheel, starter was missing. Got the truck running, running good at idle but with hesitation when we started to work it. Then a skip, backfire out exhaust and now no fire at the points. I'm no mechanic but like to frig. Having a guy check out a spare coil for me, just in case. When I remove the distributor I should still have fire at my points when someone turns the truck over without having a wire running to the coil?
