Any ignition guru's out there

Thanks for the insight. I will look more closely at the valve spring. However, I don't think that would account for the car not even wanting to fire now. I've taken the distributor out and spun it with the ignition on and a plug grounded to the intake. It throws a pretty mean spark. Just won't start when compression is added to the mix...

You guys are great.

Thanks, Rev.

For those who do not know what Alan means about me losing my glasses it goes back a long way. He, as many of you also do, knows that even with glasses I cannot see well at all - my work and driving days are numbered - and without glasses I would be a terror. Bumping into stuff even more than I do now.... Glen Young and I used to be referred to as the "two Magoo's"
