Hi Bolters! Like olbe97, I too have a similar problem. I'm helping a friend get his 49 w/216 running. He replaced the spark advance, and now the truck won't hit at all. It has been converted to 12v. Earlier, he had a 6v coil in it, and it wasn't getting fire to the plugs.I told him he needed a 12v coil, and we replaced it with a new one w/a resistor built in. I have grounded the #1 plug, and plenty of fire. I checked to see if he had the dist.in right, and when #1 is on TDC, the rotor is pointing to #1 plug wire. The cap, rotor,condensor, and wires are all new. It has gas in the in-line see through filter. I even primed the carb to make sure it had gas, and it still won't fire. I also made sure the plug wires were in proper order on the cap, and they are. The points are also new and set at .20. It's got fire, and gas, but still refuses to start. I am truly stumped. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!
KT
