I just got a '68 coupe project, it's got a painless harness and a 5.0 from an '88.
It's got a pertronix ignitor. When I crank it, I get spark at the coil, but no spark at the plugs....Do I have a bad engine ground someplace or what?
I'd appreciate any input.
I had somebody crank the engine while I checked for spark out of the coil. I did the same for the plug wires, but I didn't see any arcing. I probably don't have a good enough engine-ground connection.
This may not be the case since you apparently get spark to the coil, But when I installed the pertonix I had to rewire it from the ignition switch to get enough voltage to the pertronix.
Thanks alot for the info, I must not have been getting enough power to the ignition; when i thought i had no arcing at the plugs, i was wrong...they had a VERY weak arc. I just didn't notice it. I am going to rewire it and see how things go.
thanks again
