brushF26 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Trying to help a friend get his 1951 GMC truck started. He had a complete restoration done 5 years ago and the truck has sat since the day he drove it into the garage 5 years ago. Last week the old gas was drained and new gas added and a new battery was put in . It is a 6v system. The engine is getting gas but doesnt seem to be getting spark and I am not overly familiar with this year vehicle . There are no visible frayed, chewed, broken etc wires. Could it be as simple as replacing the coil and if so where do I track down a coil for him? ? Any suggestions would be appreciated . Thanks, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimus Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I have some good used coils I can take of a running 6 volt engine or new 6 volt coil runs about $20 to $30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
