Hello all, nice to meet you I'm new in town so to speak. Picked myself up a '67 cat a few months back and have enjoyed it alot as it's been a nice difference and change from my '69 mustang!
Anyway here's the issue: A few weeks ago my cat just plain wouldnt start. Drove it to the office and back, parked messed around for about 2 hours (not on the car) went back out to leave in the cat and it just wouldnt start.
Here's the heart of the matter: With a brand new coil, points, dizzy, cap, rotor and wires, with everything connected properly, point gap set correctly, firing order proper, I have spark leaving the coil, proven by pulling the coil wire and seeing spark when held close to bare metal, but I dont have spark getting to the plugs. There's power at the points and all grounds check out. I'm completely baffled. I have modified/changed nothing. I'm beginning to think there is something amiss with the ignition circuit itself but I cannot for the life of me tell what it may be. Any old wisdom out there that might shed some light on the issue at hand? Thanks in advance!
