I tried to fire up my truck today for the first time with no success. I do not have any spark coming out of the coil. I have power to the coil with the ignition switch on, it cranks over good but no fire!!! [img]http://www.stovebolt.com/bboard/ubb//mad.gif[/img]
BTW - It is a 350 chevrolet engine with a standard distributor converted to a Pertronix Igniter set up.

Where should I start?? Bad coil??

I've heard a guy driving his truck on the highway all of the sudden lost power and couldn't get it back started. Turns out that the Pentronix went out. I'd check that first.

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Be yourself. If you are ever lost, It will be much easier to find yourself if you know who you are!
