I figured a running Cougar will sell better then a non-running Cougar so I started tinkering on her this week.
I replaced the starter and cable and all spark plugs with Autolite AP45's.
If you remember she wasn't kicking over since I attempted to do a Petronix swap.
I had to put the original coil back in the belief that I had blown the Petronix coil by crossing the wires on install but I still have the Petronix unit in the distribitor.
I pulled a spark plug and had the wife crank the engine and there was spark.
With the new starter and plugs on I poured some gas into the carb and tried it.
She cranks just fine but it won't fire.
A: Do I buy a new Petronix coil?
B: Do I swap back to points & condensor?
C: ???
