My wood hauling/ snow plowing truck has a 1965 383 motor with the points ignition. I was driving it today and it was starting and running good until I got home this afternoon. I backed into the wood shed and unloaded it and when I went to start it again it fired up for about 3 seconds and died. Now I have no spark. I pulled the coil wire off the distributor cap and had my wife crank it over and there was no spark there. The points are opening and closing and the contacts are clean. I tried a different ballast resistor and still nothing. I don't know a lot about the points systems. There is a condenser that is wired to one side of the coil, not sure if that is needed. It also has the condenser in the distributor. Would the coil just burn out like that? Any suggestions?
