postalguy Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Greetings, have a '52 super 88, 8 cyl. converted to 12 volt. Has rebuilt original distributor, new plugs and wires, points, condenser, rotor. The problem: Can't get the spark out of the distributor to the plugs. There's spark everywhere else, in the points, in the coil, etc. Absolutely no spark at he plugs, any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks, George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillV Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 New or different rotor on distributor may be needed.Check distributor cap. May be cracked. Both of these are inexpensive fixes.I feel your pain.Bill V.1950 Olds 88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Julian Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I have had this problem before.. it is probably grounding out inside the cap. Check the ground wire for fraying and grounding.. This will give you everything you described except spark at the plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
