Re: [T3] A Different "Won't Start" Problem

["Rick Fluck" <rfluck@srv.net>]

+AD4- It seems logical this symptom points to the trigger points. 

I have found in my 72 SB that the trigger points where the 
cause of a no start situation. I found that the rivets that hold
the springs, contacts and bracketry together had galvanically
corroded. After removing the trigger points and carefully
cleaning, scarping and peening the rivets, while bench checking
the contacts with an ohm meter, that my trigger points where
renewed and wha-la my square fired right up. Of course I went
through all the suggested list of troubleshooting as you have
received from the list, which will pretty much guarantee that
your car is in great shape for, hopefully, trouble free running
for some time.

Hope this helps you out,

Rick
