    I recently bought my first flathead, a 53 mainline, and she recently died on me and lost all spark. I've since replaced points, condenser and coil. The dist. is well grounded, and the coil is getting about 2.9v from the ignition (could be my issue, but still won't spark if I wire the coil directly). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, I'm 20 so I don't have too much experience on these old engines. Initially the problem was intermittent, but seems to not work at all now.

  3. Welcome to HAMB:) It's cool to see someone your age interested in old cars. But the HAMB is like friends, and family here. There are guys that can answer your question. But we're not google. A little friendly intro, and some pictures of your car would mean a lot. Like Phil said, more members will see your question on the main board much better than here. Did I mention we like PICTURES.:rolleyes: I'm one of the dinosaurs on here. lol So keep us posted on your 53. Thanks Ron .... 20171013_123559.jpg
