Friend broke his coil wire the other day and replaced it tonight with no start, here is his email excerpt;
" I told you I broke my coil wire, well KB grabbed me a new wire set at AB and I put just the new coil wire on and it won't start. I pulled the wire and it is not getting any spark. I tried another plug wire just to see and nothing. I checked the power at the coil and I have 12v on both side and when I checked continuity the circuit between is always complete. I don't know enough about the distributors in this thing, but it doesn't look like points. Is the circuit staying closed and not building up a charge in the coil? And why would this happen it can't be connected to the wire, is it just a weird coincidence?"
I noticed that it looked like the condensor was not hooked up when we were bleeding the clutch the o ther day, maybe he cooked the points because of this? We need to get this thing to the Rally this weekend, please give some help.
