Okay...fine...I've learned my lesson. But someone, PLEASE get me out of
this one.
So my wife and I are doing the once-over on the B as we're going down to
Mid-Ohio this weekend. I decide I'm going to check the distributor points.
Open up the distributor, look at the points... Not burnt, but they're a
little (and I mean a little...what was I thinking? Oh well...) stubby. So
I decide to replace them...hey, I've got the parts laying around for just
such an occasion. No big deal, right?
So I fit the new point set, condenser, cap, and rotor (the wires are pretty
new...don't need replaced), and gap the points. Turn the crankshaft until
the pinnacle of the rotor is reached, then set the gap to .014. Great.
Everything looks beautiful. Get in the car, turn it over... and over...
and over... It doesn't fire.
Long story short, I've checked everything... firing order, gap, etc...
everything looks right. I checked for spark by hooking a good plug up to
the #1 lead and contacting it to the engine block as Stacy turned the car
over. NO SPARK.
So, tell me guys, what did I break, and who can I hire to come fix it for me
so I can drive this weekend! <g>
Best Regards,
