Re: turns over - no spark 120-130 67

Danny;

Divide and conquer...you need to determine if the problem is caused by the distributor (which supplies the open or closed connection to ground to the coil primary), or the coil itself (these are very reliable but occasionally do fail internally), or the cap which then routes the high voltage to the appropriate plug(unless dirt or the resulting carbon tracks allow it to discharge to somewhere else, typically the grounded metal of the distributor housing). I suppose the ignition switch could also fail internally but as it is part of the coil you would need to dissassemble to repair anyway. If your coil turns out to be the problem, you could use a coil(without ign. switch and armoured cable) from a 140 (no ballast resistor required), as a replacement until it gets warmer or you can locate a used coil/cable/ign switch assy) from a 122.

Regards,
