Got to be wiring. No power to your coil?

[Jason R]

[candimunster]

[Scott H]

Now I'm far from a Guru of Corvairs but hopefully it's something easy to fix and between the two of us we'll find it and get you back on the road.

[candimunster]

i am just grateful to have somebody willing to help me with it and look at it

Welcome - Lotsa stuff can cause no spark. The first thing I'd check is battery power to the coil.

Something as simple as worn out points can cause no spark.

You're in good hands with Scott !!!!!!

[candimunster]

ya turned out to be the points never woulda thought of that if it weren't for scott (thank you soooooo much scott) so yepers hopefully she will be runnin tomorrow! (fingers crossed)

[Scott H]

It was so cool to meet you guys.
What an adventure. First we can't get your car to run then we almost catch mine on fire.
Good times. lol.

We pulled the pertonix off of my car and put it on sherri and she had spark again. So it was her pertronix unit that had failed. I am bringing a set of stock points/plate down tomorrow and we'll hopefully have it up and running.

When I put my car back together my condenser ground out and partially melted my wire loom. It also melted a couple more wires which blew the fuse for my taillights. I pulled the wire off for the condenser and all drove home.

Oh and Candi, Thanks for the fuse so I could have taillights on my way home!
