My buddy broke off the coil lead the other day by accident and replaced it with a new wire tonight, here is the quote from his email.
" I told you I broke my coil wire, well KB grabbed me a new wire set at AB and I put just the new coil wire on and it won't start. I pulled the wire and it is not getting any spark. I tried another plug wire just to see and nothing. I checked the power at the coil and I have 12v on both side and when I checked continuity the circuit between is always complete. I don't know enough about the distributors in this thing, but it doesn't look like points. Is the circuit staying closed and not building up a charge in the coil? And why would this happen it can't be connected to the wire, is it just a weird coincidence? "
I noticed what looked like a condensor next to the coil that was not attached to anything when were bleeding the clutch the other day? We need to get this running and on the trailer by Friday to get to Moab.
