Re: And PSHCEEEEW it was gone...

Remove the negative wire from the coil, and turn the switch on, and  then 
tap a ground wire to the negative terminal on the coil, it should spark  
everytime you tap a ground to the terminal

Went  to take the Coronet our for a ride this evening, turned a corner,
hit the  gas, and it let out a "PSCHEEEEW" backfire through the carb
and then it was  dead. I changed the ballast resistor again...that's
not it. It didn't have  spark but I didn't get into diagnosis other
that putting the coil wire near  a bolt and cranking. How often do
fairly new coils, or Pertronix units take  a dump? Can someone go over
the coil diagnosis procedure for me again? I'm  REALLY rusty w/
electrical stuff. Also, how would I tell the coil from the  Pertronix
unit being bad if I have power where I need to have  it?

Thanks
