Any ignition guru's out there

[Bob Mulry]

Just a heads up,

If you are using the Adapt-A-Cap which takes the large ford cap and the 2 piece adjustable rotor for phasing the rotor mount to the dist shaft can come loose.

It's hard to check without really looking for it.

Turn off all the stuff you don't need to keep running.

Fill the carburetor and shut off the pump, keep the fan and water pump off and then try and start it.

Did you static time it (twist the dist with the ignition and timing light on) before trying to start it?

Take a spark plug cut off the ground strap, plug the dist end of the coil wire on the plug, ground the plug with a jumper wire and then crank the motor and check for spark. It should be a good one.

Just giving you something else to check along the way.

If you have already checked all of this stuff, then never mind.
