Gremlin...May be easy for some...
The truck ran fine in the driveway on a new 3-week old build until yesterday.
Started with a "breath" on the key. This morning, there was =no spark at the plugs. Turned over, and over and over. Plenty of gas in the carb. Not even a "pop"! With the key on, there's constant voltage at the HEI plug. And there's power at all spots I checked from the fuse box out to the HEI. I didn't measure the voltage. Yesterday, I had a horn problem....And, with the help of Forum Members, fixed that...It was a problem at the horn ring. I re-pulled the wheel and checked all the stuff I did yesterday, looking for any possible connection to this problem. Main question(s), aside from looking for a couple of , "Hey, Magwa, check this....", is if there's power at the distributor plug, and no spark at the plugs, could it be anything else but the distributor? Earlier shot: If no, what if I pull the top part (coil, I guess) and replace that? Does that make any sense. Is there a reason it would fail from perfect to no-go overnight?
