I messed around and let a friend drag this thing into the yard and have backed in to trying to get it to start. It has been sitting for about 7 years. After letting cylinders soak I started trying to turn it over today and it turns over fine with a charged battery. I tried pouring a little fuel in the carb and cranking it and there is no spark. This vehicle has a mechanical linkage that acts as the stater solenoid so the only wire to the starter is the big one from the battery. Does anyone have a link to a wiring diagram showing what is going on at coil. I'm finding dwgs that show hot wire from the ign switch through a resistor on the firewall and then to the coil. The other wire from the coil goes to the side of the distributor. I've got 12 volts on both terminals of the coil all the time along with 12 volts on the wire from the coil to the side of the distributor. My plan tomorrow is to test the coil first. Everything I find on the net shows a system with an electrical solenoid at the stater.
