Hi I am having trouble with the carb .I need a 83 carb .the one on the car got to hot and warped the base
if i cuild get a good carb I have a rebuild kit for a 1983 carb. then replace wires and vacuum lines and she
will be running ...for the coil first take a multimeter and check the + side of the coil for battery voltage
there should be batt vol at the + post..If not check back to fuse box .If you have batt vol at the post .
That test is with the key on. pull the coil wire out of the distrib cap and turn motor over and you hold wire close to block if on spark check under distrb cap and rotor.and did you try an-outher coil wire .
most of the time it is a ground wire and it could be the spark comand box ..unplug that box and check the plugs clean if needed plug in and check for spark be sure to check all the grounds.there is a ground wire in back of head some times it comes lose .....look it over good ..I hope this helped some .let me know what
you find ..............Don
