Ive got a 1947 GMC 300 with the 248 in it.
I have replaced the coil, condenser, points, rotor, cap and plugs and wires in preparation to try and get spark. The truck has been sitting for over 50 years so i knew i was going to need to replace everything anyway. I "hot wired" the ignition to the coil so i could control it from under the hood. I dont think i have everything hooked up right because im still not getting spark. it could be that the stock wiring harness has a short or break in it somehwere. I can trace all that if i need to.
I just wanted to know what HAS to be connected (ignition wise) in order for me to get spark. Can i bypass the ammeter and Generator leads that go to the voltage regulator? Im pretty sure all I have to do is connect the ignition wire to the coil right? it been a while since I have messed with an older system.
Thanks in advance!
