Still having trouble with a 66 mustang, 289, C-4 completely stock set up.
The car ran great, was parked, and failed to start the next morning. Distributor, points, condenser, cap, wires, and rotor 2 months old. For a few days I would get spark one time I checked it and no spark the next time I checked it, but even when I had spark the engine would not start.
Now, we have no spark at all from the coil, and can not figure out why? Here are the tests I have done.
1. Confirmed 12.5 volts at the battery, good connections, good ground to block.
2. Continuity from starter solenoid to coil. Checked all connections to be clean and tight.
3. Confirmed voltage at points, checked condenser to be sure it was not grounding itself, confirmed distributor shaft is turning and points are opening and closing, points surface looked good.
4. Coil checked out good, but replaced it with a known good coil.
5. Checked ignition switch by running a jumper wire from the plus battery terminal to the plus coil terminal and attempting to start to no avail.
Anyone have an idea why I am not getting spark from the coil? Makes no sense.
