Re: no spark

Double check your points as well,make sure they are opening and closing! If they are not the field can not build up in the coil and fire! I have seen this more than once due to te screw not being tightened or the points not beeing set with them at their highest point!A quick way to eliminate the rest of the wiring is use a jumper to the wire conector on the coil that has the wire from the starter(+ terminal) The negative goes to the points!Then check again for spark or just try to start it. If timing is to far off with spark it will spit back through the carburator. If it does start and run disconect that jumper,if it dies your problem is in the rest of your wiring! Make sure the truck is in park as this will jump out any neutral start switch! You might also sand your points in case they are burnt.



not trying to insult your intelignce or anything but I have walked away before frustrated as all get out and come back and went OH theres the problem!

Hope this helps
