I'm hoping someone has a suggestion.
Hopped in the Alpine today to take it for a spin. It's been 6 weeks since I last started it.
Cranked but would not start.
I changed the distributer cap, coil and the points, condenser and HT lead. I reset the gap.
I get 12v at the coil.
I get spark across the points. But no spark to the plugs.
It would, from time to time in the past, do the same thing but would just get spark again on its own.
So, what is there other than the usual suspects that could lead to intermittent loss of spark?
Possible bad battery (although it tests good)? Bad ground somewhere? I'm all ears.
As I mentioned it has done this for brief periods (20min to maybe an hour) but today 4 hours
trying to get it to start is a first.
