Default Re: Won't Start....

I seemed to have read that you still do not have spark at the plugs or plug leads. Please check two things:
1. Make sure that your points gap is at .020"
2. Make sure that you have measured 6V at the points..not just lighting a 6V light bulb.

I chased a similar problem as you are having for weeks and found my point gap was too far open.
A buddy of mine had a no start condition and found he did not have 6V at the points and had to replace the ignition switch and at the same time the wire from the switch to the distributor. This caused the same issue you are having. Car parked running...then would not start.

Good luck and let us know what you have found.
