Guest rbl2 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 It's a 1926 Chevy with a '28 engine. Otherwise all is stock.It was running fine, no problems at all. Last week I got in it and it turned over fine but that was all. Starting at the plugs I worked my way back. No fire at the plugs. Points fire fine. There's spark from the small wire to the distributor and fire from the ignition switch to the coil. There is however no fire from the large coil wire that goes to the distributor. Here's what really has me confused. The amps gauge does not move when I turn the switch on. Neither does it move when I step on the starter button. Other than 5 gallons of diesel fuel and a match does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Make sure the points are actually making good contact when closed. Does the coil work when you manually open & close the points? If not change the condencer and try again, if still no you need a coil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
