Help I知 Lost So, I just put on a freshly rebuilt Holley onto my 34 Ford (not correct carb for 34痴 but was on the car when I inherited it) I am getting fuel to the carb and I can see it shoot out the jets. Now that痴 all great but the engine is still not firing even after I have put on a rebuilt distributor, new spark plug wires, new spark plugs, and getting gas into engine. I am at a complete loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Re: Help I知 Lost Time to get out your multi meter/volt meter. Check for voltage to the ignition switch and
at the coil with the ignition switch turned on.... https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/pr...h630-p-k-no-nu |

Re: Help I知 Lost What was wrong that caused you to change these parts? Was it a running car beforehand?

Do you have spark if you fit a plug to one of the leads outside the engine?

Re: Help I知 Lost Remember that the #1 cyl. on a Ford Flathead is on
the right front (pass side) of engine, if it is LHDrive. It's odd to have the #1 cyl., not be the furthest forward, as the #5 cyl. on a Ford flathead is further forward. . |

Re: Help I知 Lost Yes it’s very possible.....it’s almost a guarantee .......but the motor would still fire if you have fuel,spark and air......did the rebuilt distributor come with a new condenser?......Mark

Re: Help I知 Lost '
Since it's obvious that you have a later 8BA-type engine and not a '34 ignition system, the schematic someone posted is not representative of what you have. Mac VanPelt kindly posts most of these drawings for our use. This drawing BELOW should be more appropriate for troubleshooting your later distributor/points/condenser.

Re: Help I知 Lost What is the required voltage needed at the coil like I said I was getting 2.4 at the coil.

Duh! I obviously misread Mart's post up above and assumed (ASS-U-ME) that the engine head shown in his picture was yours....SORRY! DD . |

Re: Help I知 Lost Maybe someone close will see this thread, and come and help.
My '40 at one time, years ago, after sitting a long time, would just spitter and sputter while trying to start it. An old car guy came over, pulled the front distributor, and filed and set the points, stuck it back together, and it fired up. . |

Re: Help I知 Lost Does anyone have a good recommendation of where to get a good coil for a dome distributor?
