Hi all
I was checking the ignition timing the other day when all of a sudden the car cuts out , I took the distributor cap off and asked the better half to crank the engine over and I discovered that their was no spark ,checked the coil and that was fine so I decided to change the points and condenser and distributor cap and rotor arm as a matter of elimination but still no spark, I have power to the points because when I touch them with a screwdriver I get a spark
Could it be the small earth wire from the condenser to the dizzy as this looks in not great shape ?
My basic knowledge of electrical things (and it is basic
) tells me that the points may be earthing themselves out
Cheers
Tom
