Reply to "No Start Problem"

Before you start to look for Bogie men that aren't there, I hate those guys, there are always two basic reasons an engine will not start.

1)fuel, or lack or it, sometimes too much, like a flooding carb

2)ignition. Not firing.

If the rotor turns consistantly the distributor gear is not broken. Oil pressure while cranking the engine will verify this.

Take a spark plug wire from a plug, any plug and put a paper clip in it. Hold it close to a grounded area like the unpainted surface of any metal portion of the engine and crank the engine over with the ignition on. If you see the arch the ignition is firing.

If you don't investigate why. Ford ignition systems sometimes will not fire if the cranking voltage is less the 11 volts, i.e., you need to read the voltage in the battery before you do any of this.

Ford ignition coils are also quite notorious for becoming intermitent. Sometimes they fire and sometimes they don't. MSD components are worse particulary if they lay unused for long periods of time.

You did verify that you have gas in the car right? Verify that there is fuel in the carbs. Work the throttle and make sure it is squirting fuel into the carb throats. Pull a spark plug. Is it wet or dry?

If you tell me that you have an MSD 6a in the car, go no further. This is a typical MSD brain failure scenario.

Good luck.
