Well it finally happened, dead on the side of the road . I came off the
freeway, started missing and then DEAD. Towed it home tonight. I need
some help for ideas what else to try. Right now it will not fire at all
even with starting fluid. So far we have changed: the points, the rotor,
the cap, the condenser, the coil(ever tried lucas sport coil).. We have
checked the gas (˝ full, visually check the tank), pulled the fuel line and
gas is getting to the carb (electric pump, but checked it anyway), and the
plugs. After everything, we played with the timing from 8 deg static to
all over— still no firing or backfire or anything. It was running great
till this, no warning signs. It's a 72 spitfire with webber down draft carb,
platinum plugs, headers , stock distributor. Any ideas would be great as
this my daily driver. This one has me stumped. Thanks in advance TIA!!
