  1. I had never heard of a wet compression test. I had to look it up so thank you. I have not done a wet one but will try that soon. Trying to educate myself as much as possible before tearing into this.
  2. Thanks! I will definitely check that out. Haven't rebuilt one in over 20 years so I'm feeling very rusty.
  3. Sadly I have a compression of 60 in all cylinders except for 10 in the number 7. And not running so time for a rebuild! Anyone know of any reputable shops that would rebuild this engine for me? I'm in Utah so close would be nice but willing to travel to get this done right.
  4. Thanks everyone! That's what I was afraid of. I will be looking for a replacement. If anyone has one for sale or any leads I would be interested.
  5. In the middle of rebuilding my carb and noticed some metal break down. Can this carb still be used?
  6. Sorry just noticed these replies. I'll get a picture uploaded when I can. I'm thinking 150 obo.
  7. I received one of these Brooklin models and although the though was nice I have a 4 door trunk back. Anyone interested or want to trade?
  8. https://www.napacanada.com/en/p/MBC85924 This one looks a little more promising and affordable.
  9. https://www.directindustry.com/prod/ceteor/product-111565-1279837.html Don't own one but here is one listed. I remember a few years back I found one but it was very expensive. 800 if I recall correctly
  10. It runs again! After pulling out some hair d testing everything the culprit was the terminal insulator post the negative coil wire goes to that then goes to the points. That plastic around it had rotted so I bypassed it with a wire. So I think two things happened, my pertronix went bad after only 2 years and then when I put the old ignition back in that terminal post was also bad. Thank you very much for everyone's help! Anyone know where I can get a new one of those posts? I found some from a tractor store for a Delco Remy distributor. Looks similar to mine.
  11. That part is happening. Goes from about 6 volts to. 05
  12. I will try the last part of this and try the screwdriver. I've done everything else here and no spark when I hold the coil wire to the block but I haven't tried with a screwdriver. Just rolling the engine over. Gap was correct and points are opening and closing properly. I'll try everything else out and see.
  13. I had the pertronix in for 2 years before this happened.
  14. Yes it is and looks intact. I have a new one coming from bobs just in case that's the culprit.
  15. So I finally had time to work on this a bit. Tried this test a d on negative I'm getting. 05 so close to zero. Still no spark so bought a new coil cap and rotor with no change. Any other ideas? I'm stumped now.
