No spark?
My wife's uncle gave his '71 4X4 to my youngest son. The truck has been parked for over a decade. He couldn't get it to start, so he parked it. The is no spark at the plugs or at the coil wire. I haven't checked to see if there is voltage to the coil yet. Is there any thing else I should look for? Also, when the key is turned to the run posotion I can here a loud click from somewhere in the engine compartment, that I have never heard on any of my other trucks. Any ideas? Thanks for any replies.

Re: No spark?
A fresh set of points gapped correctly might help. The click you hear may be the "anti diesel" solenoid located at the carb. Is this a 6 banger or an 8?
