Default Re: 1937 Ford Fordor Survivor

My friend Mitch and I tried to start this 1937 Fordor today. The engine turned over nice, compression in all eight cylinders, the oil looked good (it was drained and replaced), the starter turned strong, the fuel pump pumped, but there was no spark from the spark plug wires. Took off the coil and will get it checked out and go from there.

I have new spark plugs and spark plug wires which I will install; I have replaced the battery wires, ground wires, solenoid/starter wiring. I will continue to replace the wiring all the way back to the tail lights as all of it is very deteriorated and waiting to cause trouble.

Looking forward to finding the problems and solving them.
