Guest De Soto Frank Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I would start examining the wiring to the semi-auto tranny for shorts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55PackardGuy Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I'd go straight to the infamous "Braided Wire" on the distributor. Also, I've experienced (and heard of many times) difficulties "losing" the spark after replacing an ignition coil. If you've got a known good coil--no matter how old--on another engine, give it a try. Only takes a couple of minutes--easier to replace than internal distributor parts, which may be OK. It seems like these engines have spark forever, even with cruddy old ignition parts, but when you try upgrading stuff the spark can get "lost." And once it's lost you can have a heckuva time finding it again. That "crackle" and warm coil sure sounds like a short... again, the evil braided wire may be the culprit. Good luck!

bebop138 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I go with the PackardGuy---same thing with my 52 Windsor---changed all the ignition parts---no spark. I re-wired the internal braided wires under the cap and have not had a problem since----Good Luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grog Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 I found the problem, but first off a BIG THANKS for all the help this board is GREAT !!! the problem was 2 things ..1st the plunger and spring had burnd up which is why the car had no spark and the 2nd was them pos wire from the dist to the coil had broke. I replace the cap, rotor, pts,con and replaced the wire and she runs great, getting a full spark. I got all the parts at Northwestern in Grand Rapids Michigan. thanks again Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest De Soto Frank Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 "Plunger & spring" - I presume you mean the carbon brush at the center of the distributor cap ?Glad to hear you're rolling again !Happy Motoring ! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
