I've had it with this car.

You know...I was thinking about transporting this Valiant back to Rhode Island with me next June...And then I thought about how unreliable carburetors are up north, etc...

Anyways that's not the point. The point is I'm enraged. The Goddamn $%^&*^ing car is doing the same crap it was doing before.

It's just cranking,cranking,cranking. There's fuel getting to the carb. The choke closes/opens.

What am I not getting? Spark! I took one of the plugs out and did the spark test and there's nothing. I checked the ignition coil with an ohmmeter, but of course my book says I have to connect some lead to some point on the distributor which I can't even see. It doesn't say anything about if I'm supposed to crank it while I'm doing this or not. In fact the diagram of where I'm supposed to put these leads on the ignition coil blows.

So can someone please tell me what the HELL is going on with my car before I just scrap the piece of crap? I love how I'm probably going to have to take the damned bus tomorrow to work. :mumum:
