This is a B18 in a 1966 122, with Pertronix and original coil and armored cable. The fuel pump glugs out gas pretty okay when I crank the starter with the hose disconnected from the carb. So the car was great, I let it sit for a few days when the wet weather started, and the next time I started it up I had to take out the spark plugs and dry them off and pour starting fluid in the carburetor. It ran great all day, and the next morning wouldn't start again. Same thing each morning since, and it's been a week or so. This morning I tried to check for spark and I couldn't get a plug wire (or the coil wire) to jump an eighth-inch, that I could see.

I've read about using a jumper wire to ground the coil on the negative terminal with the key on, and pull the jumper on and off and check the high-tension lead for spark from the coil. I will do that, and I will take a multimeter with me to where my car is. I'm wondering if folks have a troubleshooting list for this? The ignition switch has been heating up whenever I run all the accessories. Maybe it is fried.
