Hi Guys
I haven't used the TBird for a few weeks so went to fire it up today & go cruising but it was a "no go".
Motor turns as usual but no spark.
I had a local mobile auto electrician call in & check for faults.
His diagnosis was that the coil was the problem, power to it but nothing out.
On his advice, I purchased & fitted a new coil but still no spark.
Put a plug lead on an old spark plug & the body to ground while turning the engine over....nothing.
Points are opening & closing & correct setting.
Is my next step to replace the condenser???
Could it be a problem with the coil resistor???
Also, where is the coil resistor located????
Not being at all an electrical person, any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys
Lex
