Is the 'rotor' even turning? I have a little gizmo that shows spark. It
looks like a very short sparkplug wire with a neon bulb in the middle. Flaps
would have them. You put it at the input to the distributor cap and plug the
hot lead from the coil into it. Crank and it flashes with each pulse from
the coil. If that works, then do it for each sparkplug wire. Check back with
us. ...bill in oregon

I'm at the point with this car that I really need some expert help. Rich
and I worked on it last night. We swapped out the distributor with a new
Mallory dual point distributor and the car wouldn't even start. We
confirmed TDC and the new coil is good. Getting spark all the way to the
cap, but not to the cylinders. Put in the points distributor from BillM and
had the same results. I'm getting pretty frustrated with this problem.
It's been going on for months now. I had a lot of people give their time in
putting this engine together (NOSHIT II) only to have it plagued by this
problem. I still have not even driven it to break in the motor. I'm open
to any assistance on this. I really want to get this car running. If you
are in the Seattle area, please let me know if you have time to stop on by
and throw in your two cents. I'm at my wit's end with it.
