[FWDLK] Doesn't run, not the fuel pump

[Nick Sperduto <drt-rdr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, my 56 savoy does not run. It's not the fuel pump.

What I thought was an empty gas filter was a completely full one.

I even tried some starting fluid. No good.

 

So I pulled the distributor cap.

Intermittent spark at the points.

So my guess is now that's the points or the coil is shot.

I don't know how to test the coil other than the test light lights at the post and the arm on the points.

 

I can't see the points to well to tell if they are burnt.

I do have an extra set of those, but I don't have a coil handy.

 

I'll try swapping the points tomorrow. I'm working outside and thought it not a good idea to try and change points in the dark driveway.

 

Unless someone has a better idea.
