Whilst out for a Sunday drive, my S suddenly lost power. At first I thought it was a fuel problem, having checked all leads to dizzy, coil etc.
Trip home on the back of a tow truck ! Called the local Auto Club and mechanic called out to view the car.
A bit of info, which may or may not be relevant - I recently had electronic ignition fitted, new coil, old dizzy, rotor & cap.
So, I have power to the coil and the dizzy cap, BUT no power to the spark plug leads. Yes, I did ensure that they had a good fit to the cap.
The mechanic thinks it may possibly be a "short" down the rotor spindle.
I pulled the rotor off, after a bit of a tussle (rust !) gave it a clean and also the points in the cap.
Still no go !.
Do you think I'm looking at a new dizzy ???
Thanks....
