Re: No spark
I'm thinking that is pretty much an all original truck except the HEI. No fuse block like my 71 has so going to the fuse block on with ignition pin is out. That is a real easy deal on 67/72 trucks with the stock fuse block.
I've got a feeling that he didn't fry anything in the ignition but something isn't hooked up so it works the way he needs it to.
I've been involved in several V8 TF trucks that guys had a no start when cranking with the key deal going on and they had forgotten to hook up the resistor bypass and the I post on those switches doesn't get power in the start mode. A couple of them were tuned well enough that when you let of the key they started because the engine was still spinning enough and they fired up. The last one of those was when a guy dropped a complete 350 and transmission out of a late 70's rig in his 57 that didn't have a resistor bypass post on the solenoid. That was one that fired when he let off the key. I just had him put in a start button that he could hit with his left hand that he pushed when he was cranking it. Hot lead to the distributor when he pushed the button.
