Re: No spark


I have a 67 that does not seem to be getting any spark...Any and all
ideas? Randy

Please describe any and all diagnostic steps you may have taken so far (i.e.
removing distributor cap and rotor and turning over engine to see if point
gap sparks, examining gap and condition of points and rotor, examining
electrical connections [especially of items in ignition system and voltage
regulator and at the electrical junction box on the firewall above and to
the left of the muffler], etc.)

Until then, some random ideas:
1. Have you done a positive to negative ground conversion? If so, the coil
may be shot...a common side effect of such a conversion.
2. Are any other electrical systems not functioning, such as lights, horn,
bilge blower fan?
