RE: [T3] No spark??


I had the same problem a few weeks ago and am still determining the problem,
I got spark, and fuel but it died after heating up just like yours, does it
start again after cooling down?  I checked the points and they were
completely closed in #1 position.  And the timing was way off. This was
after it had been at the shop and they timed it without setting the point
gap.  Now I have not yet determined that this is the problem, but after
discussing it with my mechanic this could have contributed to the stalling
and not starting problem.
I don't know if this helps but you may what to check these basic things
along with spark and fuel.  Best of luck!

Subject: [T3] No spark??


My car died on me just as I was getting off the freeway the other day. It
was just as if it had no fuel. So I pulled the line at the carbs and tried
to turn it over and there was fuel getting to the carbs. So now when I turn
it over it just keeps turing and turing as if there were no spark. I tried a
different coil with no luck. What else should I check?? 

Thanks, 
Gerald
