Hey Gents,
Well I have incountered my next problem. we drove the truck about 2 weeks ago, then last week caroline wanted to go somewhere. the truck would not start.
So here is what I know: ''lucinda''
http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h298/1951otter/?action=view¤t=4495365-R1-004-0A_1.jpg is our 51 w/ a 292, I did a ground up/ rebuilt several years ago, almost new everything. 12 volt system /alternator, HEI w/ coil in cap, three wires from control module to cap, key switch start, #10 gauge wire from starter to key switch, #10 from key to HEI, ALL wires crimped & solder connections w/ heat shrink.
Last Sept. we had no spark, so no start. I tested the coil then and it was duff, so I bought a new coil, replaced it & life was good. We didn't drive her much over the wet snowy winter.
so now I have no spark again.
Tested the coil yesterday and all is good on that side of this equation. So I bought a new control module at 'flaps' yesterday and installed it, including the heat transfer di-electric paste. my thinking is, that's the other side of this equation, it must be faulty. That part I have not replaced as new. She then started but ran for about 3-5 seconds and died.
Again I have no spark !
What could be the possible cause, [I believe inside the ignition system] that causes this puppy not to start ???
I'm back in autoshop 101 again.
