Can't find my old Hot Rod magazine trouble shooting articles from the '50s so I need some help. Old 60's stock car motor, 59AB in the roadster, no spark.
1st time trying to start it after the winter. 21A distributor, 12V Neg grnd. Test light on coil primary, power to the coil, test light on the distributor terminal from the coil flashes off & on as I crank the engine over. So I assume the points are good. What's next ? Thank you Fordbarners. Anyone have a copy of that old HRM article they can post ?.
