It ran so nicely I put on the new hubcaps to show it off. Got to the gas station, put in the non-ethanol stuff to be good to my baby, and it never sparked since I turned the key off. Driving it home on a tow rope wasn't my idea of fun. My post is up on the electrical board, but since you started it, I thought I'd whine and gripe. Thank you for allowing my grumbling... | | |

I'm 99% sure it's fire related. I'm hoping to do some testing today. | | |

Check to make sure you're getting power to ignition when key is in 'start' and 'run' positions. Force the coil to spark with a jumper wire from battery. Check ballast resistor and points with voltmeter/testlight. Check ign module if solid-state. Check grounds & primary circuit wiring. Check for fouled sparkplugs, make sure rotor is turning, check rotor position to TDC, etc.
good luck

Fiddled with it a little more and it snapped off. Cleaned and re-crimped the end, touched the starter and off we go. Drove the heck out of it with very satisfactory results. Thanks for the suggestions!!! | | |
