Well, I still haven't gotten the TR7 started, and finally my friend came over and spent 15 minutes troubleshooting with me (one to crank, one to test in the engine bay.) Not getting a reliable spark.
I dug into my distributor -- I have points and condenser -- which I thought only the Delco distributor had points, and the Lucas was somewhat electronic. I have the lucas type rotor, and the lucas coil, though.
So did the Lucas distributor for 1980 have points?
But nobody carries points for either Lucas or Delco distributors...so how are we supposed to replace them?!?!
What to do? Any other ideas to make the spark work. I'm also going to replace the plug wires. Plugs themselves don't have many miles (like 50 to 100.)
Baffled!
