Re: Need help now 1971 c10 won't start
Do you have a voltmeter, or a multitester? If so, measure the voltage at the coil. You should have 9 volts or higher there.
If you do, the problem is either the coil, the points, the condenser, the cap, or the rotor. If you do not, start with the basics. Clean battery terminals thoroughly. Check the small wire as mentioned by hamjet. If those are OK, it begins to look like the ignition switch. Quick check for that is to run a wire from the positive battery terminal to the coil (connect to the terminal that does NOT go to the distributor. If you have HEI, I cannot help, as I have no experience.
