Re: Original flathead with no spark
Make sure you have good grounds everywhere, they all need to be clean, bright, and tight.
Wire brush under all the ground connections then make sure their tight. |

Re: Original flathead with no spark
If it were me, I’d replace the coil and condenser. You are getting power to the coil, which is good, but that doesn’t mean it works. These parts have probably gone bad over the last 60 years. You have gotten spark once, and it may have been all the coil/condenser could muster before giving up the ghost. You’re close!
People exclusively use Skip Haney’s rebuilt coils, and people get their condensers from the user, Tubman, here and from Third Gen Auto in TN if you call and ask which one to buy.
