Hey everyone,
I love my coupe. It's not perfect but it's mine. Originally a 6 it now has a 302 in it, so as time goes on in this transformation to an 8, I will likely be asking for more help. For now though, I'm trying to start it after a winter tucked in the garage. I replaced the back-up/neutral light switch. I've got voltage at the coil, gas in the carb, the engine turns with the starter but I get no spark at the plug. I'm thinking my next move should be to install a new distributor. Are there any other suggestions before I do that?

did it run before? is it points or electronic?

Hey back again. If you're still there. It ran fine last fall before I put it away for the winter, but lesson learned, try starting before replacing anything and then again after it's done. It's pertronix electronic ignition.

I replaced the distributor cap. still no start

Did you fail to reconnect the distributor ground wire to the base plate when you installed the Pertronix?
