Hi Dave, has it been retimed? Are you getting spark to the plugs?

No to the timing, and yes to the spark but not a strong spark, hence new coil and the rest. She worked fine up to about three weeks ago, then she broke down and not gone since.

Last year we fought an F-134 that just would not go - a lot like yours. I'll skip to the punch line - a bad condenser. Replace it and make sure that the tab is securely connected to the can.
