will a car start

with a bad condencer .. it run just miss ... well heres the thing the car was missing under load bud ideling good i went got a new dist point s and condencer ... started it right it ran for about 30 secs and it just died .. i tryed 2 different coils still no spark .. i dont think the circuet it being compleated .. but what would cause a car to suddenly loose spar4k ? any help would be greatful

 

Is there power to the coil? Are the points opening? Etc, Ect...? Check all the simple stuff, there is so much that could cause a no spark condition. A bad condenser may still run but it wont run well. I have had condensers bad right out of the box (always fun to do a tune up and have it run worse then before). If you just replaced the points verify that they were tightened up at the correct gap and make sure that they didn't close up as soon as you started it. Good Luck.

 

there power going into the coil and the points are open and closing . points are gaped at 18 and are tight .. the car started for like 30 seconds then turned off like i turned the key off no poping nothing

 

sure you aint running out of fuel? next time it starts to die pour a little gas in the carb and see if it keeps running.

 

im sure it has fuel 100 percent.. there nothing comming outa the coil . i hooked up a test light to the neg coil turned over the car and got nothing . but thnks for the thought .. guess i have to wait till moring to check the condencer

 

Check The Negative Side Of The Coil To Be Sure It Has A Good Ground.do You Have A Dwell Meter,see What The Dwell Is.you
Might Do A Buff Job On The Points If Nothing Else Works.

 

Check the pigtail lead into the dist. for damage

 

hey, i'll come by
