I looked at the cheat sheet in the back of Muir for the symptoms and all the suggested problems there were tune up issues. I decided to do a complete tune up this morning. I did the valves. Only two were off and only by a small amount. When I went to do the points/dwell it wouldn't start. It turns over strongly. The rear relay clicks. The front one doesnt. I checked the control voltgage at the front relay when turning on the car. Nothing. What next?
