Electrical question

[miket]

Hey guys (and gals):

I need some help. I have a 71 Cheyenne 1/2 ton, 350 4 barrel with auto trans. Truck is original and in very good condition. Problem is, I pressure washed the engine compartment today and now the truck will not fire.

Essentially, I covered the carb and cleaned everything (like I have done many times before). After putting the air cleaner back on and connecting all of the hoses, I attempted to start the truck. It fired once and then died. The starter works fine and spins the truck over. It has the original standard ignition setup with points and coil. I removed the Distributor cap and of course found a bit of moisture which I cleaned out...still no fire. I ended up replacing the coil and condensor and tested for juice at the coil while starting....6.5 to 7 volts...sort of odd. Battery is new....truck drove great all day today before I decided to clean the engine compartment ( Iguess thats what I get!). I also hooked up a timing light and looked to see if I got anything while cranking...nothing.

I understand their is an ignition coil wire that is energized off the starter solenoid...does anyone know if this could be the culprit? Any ideas?
