Today I attempted to replace plugs, points and coil for my 60 Bugeye following the Hayes manual and John Twist videos. After completing the work I have a serious electical issue that I inadvertantly created. When I turn on the ignition I get nothing. No fuel pump, no lights, nothing on the dash volt meter not even horn works. I have attempted to trouble shoot by taking the following measures:
1. Checked battery. No issue 12.6V using wave meter.
2. Checked fuses no issue but to be sure, replaced both.
3. Checked wiring on the coil, put old coil back in.- no change.
4. Checked breaker gap and correct position of fiber washer- they are correct.
I assume I may have created a grounding issue but can not figure out how I did this by working on the distributor or coil. Has anyone else experienced this kind of failure?
