Could anyone please help me. I am not a well rounded mechanic and I sure could youse some help. I Was on my way this afternoon to a tour about 1/2 an hour drive from my home . I was about ten minutes in to our ride the car was running absolutely perfect so I thought, when I was coming up to a stop sign I noticed that the car stalled , no backfire no missing and no apparent noises. So hear is what I have found so far some of this may not be relevant.
1. Checked fuel no fuel problem found.
2. Check for spark ? And changed condenser
3. Check if points were opening and found distributor not turning!
4. Called tow trucK car is now in garage
5. ( My thought was timing gear ? So I took off the side timing gear Cover off
And turn the engine over to inspect the gears and from my laymen opinion the
timing gear looks good)
6. The motor has around 3200 miles since restored ,oil changed regularly and the
Car is well maintained
Could anyone please help with any suggestions on what to do next? I know you guys are smart and really appreciate all of your help in advance. Thank you Joe.!
