I parked up in the garage yesterday and this afternoon went to move the Haf out so I could do some cleaning up in the garage - she no go - no life at all. Turns over fine but no firing even with a bit of "Start Ya Barstard" starting fluid.
Hmmm - pull the drivers side spark plug - no spark

Some time back I changed the points out and put a Pertronix electronic ignition in so this is the obvious culprit (well maybe). so I pull that out and out the old points back in and no difference - no spark.
I disconnect the coil from the dizzy and put a spark plug in the high tension lead and fire up the coil manually with a 12v battery I have - making and breaking the low tension side of the coil still does not fire the spark plug. I took the plug out and just short the HT lead and I get a little spark. Putting the timing light on the HT lead and the timing light lights up intermittantly but not consistently.
Strange - one day the car is running fine and the next she no go.
I will leave the points in for the moment but get a new coil (it maybe weak), new spark plugs and some leads but I am at a loss as to why ignition just stops like that with no warning.
