Ok, I checked my 240 for spark again today by sticking a screwdriver into the end of the HT lead from and coil and holding it near a ground. There is only a small spark after I let off from cranking the engine (none while the engine is cranking, but a small spark at the instant I let off of the key). I repeated this procedure on my other '86 240 (it runs!) to see how the spark should be. It was a strong spark present DURING cranking on the other 240. So, what could be giving a weak spark like that on the non running '86? BTW, I've changed the coil already.

Thanks,
Dave
