Engines Not Starting!
« on: January 17, 2004, 12:06:23 PM »
Hey guys, one morning I come out to my car and the sucker just won't run!  It ran just fine the previous night.  I'm running a 1600DP engine with Dual Kads, Pertronix Electronic Points, 009 distributor and Alternator.

It kicks over and over, sometimes catches a little but promply dies.  I put a new coil in, its getting spark to the plugs, fuel is getting in.  Perhaps my Pertronix is screwed??

Thanks Shane, When I went to take the Pertronix out, I noticed they were a little loose!  So I tightened them up a bit, and low and behold! Vrrooom!

Thanks
