Re: turns over - no spark 120-130 67

If your points (or capacitor)are closed or shorted it would

do what you describe. Disconnect the wire from your coil to

the distributor and see if you get voltage there with the

switch turned on. If so, first make sure that your points are

breaking (the screw that holds them can loosen up) and then that

there are no shorts. This can be tricky- there are fiber washers

and other insulating devices that get the screw through the

distributor case that can give out. Any short here will kill you

graveyard dead!

Don't buy a house without a garage with a high ceiling!

Be sure to leave enough space in the garage to put ONE car in it!
