Greetings,

Ok...new problem. Went out to start the 76 spit and couldn't get her to
start. After a few minutes, I got the engine to fire...but only on no.1.

Got a ride to work. Came home, car started on one cyl. Damn. Cleaned plugs,
cleaned cap, etc. Now car won't start at all. I've got power to coil. Don't
seem to have much spark beyond this. I get a light when a test positive
terminal on coil. However, when I follow the lead that goes to the little
blue cylinder (run off the positive terminal on coil) to the place where
this blue thing clamps down on coil bracket, I get no light.

Any leads?  Has my coil gone boobs up? What else should I check before
spending the  $20 on a new coil?

Help!!!

Thanks in advance!
Will
