Re: electrical problem
i would start with a complete tune up.
If you are like me, and refuse to run points, then swap out an HEI system from a junkyard, cap/rotor plugs and wires. If you know the old points ignition system, then swap out the points, cap/rotor plugs and wires. Drain the old fuel and replace the filter, dump in 5 gallons of fresh fuel and go for it. |

Re: electrical problem
  If the coil is firing then the problem is most likely in the distributor cap or the rotor button. here is a good website to look at.--http://abbysenior.com/mechanics/ignition.htm#Top
