No Spark.

So.... I got the battery back, hooked it up... and... I have spark from the ignition coil and at the spark plugs. I guess this is a good thing, but I'm scared that while I was mucking about in there i jostled the magical wire that will curse me until i buy a new wiring harness. Thoughts?

Also I didn't really try but it wouldn't turn over. It wanted to but it would stumble and all the lights would dim. There's a shitload of cops and ambulances down the block so i'm not going to sit there cranking it right now. someone probably got shot again.

Yeh. It would be nice if you can figure out why it quit. Maybe if finally just dried out enough.

One point of contention on those is corrosion and looseness in the distributor connector. There is almost no power there. The distributor generates tiny trigger pulses. ANY corrosion or looseness in the connector can put you out of business
