Re: Another ignition issue

[Don Dulmage <big-d@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Timing chain would be my guess. No spark with a new HEi set up . no spark 
with the old setup  something is wrong. hei requires only a 12 v supply to 
the dist. You neeed to make sure you also have supply when in start position 
on the ign switch. and of course it must be grounded as must be the engine. 
maybe you should check that first. hook a boostercable from the neg battery 
termanl to the engine block and see what happens.  This is a crude but 
extemely effective way to test that if electronics isnt you bag. Whatever 
you do dont become frustrated. Tere is nothing on our car electrical that 
cant be fixed in a few minutes.Absolutley nothing and if someone suggests 
replacing the wiring harnes please have them shot on the spot.
If you want step by step help Im here for ya.  Email direct. I will  in and 
out all day or  phone if you like  6139698145
