I have a 53 3600 that won't start. The PO rewired pretty much the whole thing but I get no spark. The starter cranks regardless of what position the key is in. The ignition has 3 wires going to the same lug and one wire to another lug. (almost like its hot wired.) I could not seem to get spark at the plugs when I grounded to the body. (there is so much rust I may not have grounded at all.) The coil is 8 volt all other components are 6v. The coil was full of crud where the wire goes to the distributer. Cleaned that and noticed that the coil looked new but very beat up. (like he installed it with a hammer)
I would rather scrap rust than have electrical problems. Can anyone help?
