No fire for 71 c-10 350 with new carb
Hello all,
My dad and I are trying to get our 71 c-10 back up and running. One year ago we got it running after about 10 yrs of sitting idle. Everything was going well until we noticed that there was gas leaking out of the side of the carburetor pretty badly. We tried rebuilding the carb ourselves and that didnt work out too well, so we ordered a rebuilt 4 barrel (same as what was on it). Dropped in the new carb, which was pretty easy. Went to start it, got one very loud backfire, the nothing. It is turning over well, but not starting up. Trouble shooting so far: We are getting gas to carb, choke is opening/closing. Changed points, condenser and coil. No spark from new coil, even when hook up directly to the battery. Checked to see if wires were hot using small screwdriver like device with a light bulb. Power to both post of coil as well as inside post. Power to points. Looked on the forum and noticed someone saying that it might be the distributor, but if we arent even getting fire from the coil when it is hooked up to the battery, could this really be it? Any ideas? Thanks |
