I MAY NOT BE MUCH HELP..BUT I'LL TRY!

I DO BEST W/ JEEP CJs AND OLDER FORDS

COOL THING IS, OTHER FELLERS CAN JUMP IN ASSIST OR EVEN TAKE OVER

I HAVE ACCESS TO WIRE DIAGRAMS...WHICH COULD HELP YOU

LETS START OUT W/ THIS 1ST

I NEED CORRECT NOMENCLATURE OF YOUR VEHICLE

I NEED ENGINE SIZE

ANYTHING SPECIAL YOU DID OR THE VEHICLE HAS

IT DOES TURN OVER, JUST WON'T BUST OFF?

WHAT IS THE VOLTAGE AT THE POSITIVE WIRE OF THE COIL, WITH THE KEY ON?

NO SPARK AT ALL?...TRY A COUPLE OF MORE SPARK TESTS ON OTHER CYLINDERS

RESULTS AND INFO I NEED?

THANKS

WHILE WE'RE AT IT

PULL THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND VERIFY IT ROTATES WHILE THE ENGINE TURNS OVER

IS THIS THE ORIGINAL ENGINE?
