Gentlemen,
I have a no-start issue that is confusing me. The car has been super-reliable and ran beautifully until the other day. I sent it off to have the paint perfected ahead of our local Classic Car show. The car was there for about 5 weeks while I was away. The painter called last week to say the car would not start.
I suspected it was out of fuel, but when I got there, there was no spark.
I had a Powerspark hall effect "points" unit installed, so I replaced that and the coil with Pertronix unit and now I have a good spark, but still no start.
The obvious culprits are timing or rule.
Changing these electronic unit dos change timing setting because of their different designs, or so I set the car to TDC, checked lobes were at 10 to 2, and aligned the rotor with the slot on the distributor body, but not even a hint of it wanting to start. Is there a better way?
Today I plan to tackle the fuel question, in case it was low and pike up some tank rust or crap which has now blocked he system.
What is the best technique for testing fuel supply? I cracks the line at the CSV and have pressure but that fed from the supply side before the injector pump.
Should I crack the line at each injector?
Any advice hugely appreciated.
