1971 slant six 225 no spark or weak spark at plugs?
Battery was taking to long to charge, so I just removed the good battery from my daily. Before I installed it, I removed my power steering pump bracket and cleaned off the paint surrounding the bolt holes on the bracket and block, and the bolts, to ensure good ground. The same was done with my body ground. I also removed the positive cables from the starter relay and cleaned them up good, as well as the battery posts and cable ends.
With the good battery installed, still no start. Then I decided to put the old cap and rotor back on. Took a bit but the car fired right up. Upon inspection of the new cap and rotor, there is not a single electrical or mechanical marking on the rotor or terminal posts, they were completely clean and looked unused.
Maybe the rotor sits too low? Annoying because this was the 'better' brass option on rockauto, WVE brand. The one I put back on is a super cheap and almost completely wore out duralast from autozone.
Here's a pick of the WVE
