New Jersey Mechanics

After weeks of exhausting my resources, I've come no further in solving my starting issue with my barracuda. It continues to turn over, but does not fire. It's getting gas, but there is no spark. It's an electronic ignition. I tried a new coil, which worked briefly, but the moment I turned it off, it wouldn't start again.

In an initial inquiry on this site, I had mentioned that the car ran perfectly fine the night before and failed to start the morning after.

One thing to note, when I installed the ignition (a Pertronix II with a III coil) I did remove the ballast resistor. That may very well be the problem here, but the car ran fine for several months until this problem came on.

I'm hoping that someone on here who lives in New Jersey (near the south orange area) or New York, can recommend a mechanic as I'm at my wits end and miss driving her terribly.

Cheers,

Fisher
