| Post subject: | won't fire |
drove the 69 valiant in front of the shop to work on some radiator issues, and once had the radiator straightened out a few days later, the car would not fire. there is fuel in the tank, and added some more, fuel is getting into the carb, as I can see it squirt in as well as smell it, tried some starter fluid, nothing the car turns over just fine, but does not seem to fire? I might have flooded it the first time I tried, would a new set of plugs maybe help(on my allis chalmers wd tractor, once you get the plugs wet you have to change them or it won't fire until you do)? figure I will start swapping out some electrical as it is needed anyways, but would like to figure out just what it is before I swap stuff out. austin |

Are you getting fire to your distributor and plugs? Install a new condenser in the distributor and check your points if its a old points style ignition system?? |

How about checking for spark first? With the key switch on, a test light to the plus side of the coil. Voltage? Or just pull the center wire from the distributor, set a gap (from the wire to ground), and crank it while looking for a spark. Something to verify ignition. |
