Re: Too weird: now compression tester stuck?

[Roger Pettigrew <dodger7998@xxxxxxx>]

Sounds like it is time to start over,,,,,,what do you have for ign.,,,,,,,, 
 points, pertronic, mopar ecu,,,,,???
 
I would start by grabbing another sparkplug wire and plug,,,,, starting  
with the new plug wire I would remove coil wire and put new wire directly to 
the  coil, crank the engine (with plugs out) and inspect the spark on the 
plug laying  on the engine so as to ground out,,,,,,, if the spark is blue and 
consistent  while cranking the engine, I would then reinstall the coil wire 
and unplug any  plug wire from the cap and plug the new wire in its 
place,,,,,,, crank the  engine again and check spark,,,,,,,,, if spark is good, it 
is time to move on to  gas problems,,,,,,,,

The car ran great to a car event in July 2010. Started it  up and headed 
home and made it about 3 miles before the engine crapped out and  I had to get 
the car towed home. Hasn't run since (8 months). I put a new  timing chain 
set on it and still no start. Acts the same way as with the old  chain set: 
ignition noise evidence of spark and an occasional pop through  carb.

Thanks,
