No start issue Im a little frustrated

Thanks for the replies - Will check various items mentioned.

Motor is a fresh rebuild, with new plugs cap rotor, wires are old but look fine. The distributor is a known working piece as is the coil. distributor is in correctly, Engine almost starts in the present position just not enough spark energy, tried various positions on the dist timing as well - no dice.

Gas is fresh, new lines pump tank fliter and pickup. 6 - 7 gallons in the tank.

Ballast checks fine, swapped another one in that checks okay as well.

Good idea on checking the energy from the coil to dist.

If I get a chance I'll mess with it a little more today but if not -

Its gonna be a few days before I can futz with this again. I have a long weekend trip planned, leaving tonite.

I'd rather get this figured out but I have to make this trip first. So, I'll be back with further results later next week.

Darn it. :angry7:
