Guess I am in need of a little assistance. I have a 1980 1500 Spitfire. Last summer I went for a short drive and the little engine quit in the middle of an intersection. After trying to restart several times with no success, a local police officer was kind enough to help me push the car to the curb without issuing me a ticket for blocking traffic . Well it is winter and I thought I would try to get the little bugger running again. I have replaced the spark plugs, plug wires, Distrib Cap and rotor. I tried restarting and get the same results. It turns over and tries to start but will not. It will fire off on a cyl. just enough to disengage the starter motor. I removed the Distrib Cap and turned the engine over and it looks like the points spark but only intermitantly. The Coil appears to be putting out enough voltage,,,,I assume. Does anyone have any ideas of what may be wrong?? Thanks for any input.
