Well... I’m back.
I’m having a heck of a time getting my 68 850 to fire. I have the timing marks lined up, compression stroke. I’ve tried on cylinder 1 and 4. I have fuel visibly going down the Venturi. Strong vacuum coming from the carb also.
My timing light shows the marks lined up when spark travels. I’ve taken each plug out to check for spark. All good. Only thing I notice is the ignition coil gets rather warm to the touch after multiple attempts. It’s a 3.4Ohm resistance coil for my points. Set at a .016 gap. Checked 3 times.
What am I missing? The warm coil insinuates resistance, so is 3.4 too high? Once in a great while it’ll cough back at me but only once.
