I have an ignition related problem, and I'm correcting an earlier post. Here we go:
When I couldn't start, I could tell the ignition had no spark.
And, yes, I'd just left the ignition key on for four straight hours before I noticed it!
So, I opened the distributor and found everything fried. I needed a new condenser, internal wires, and low tension lead.
I thought that I'd just replace everything on the hunch something just "short circuited". That was not so, because everything immediately started to burn up again.
I'm assuming that my three year old Lucas coil is the problem?
I there a way to troubleshoot that? Did I fry it by leaving the key on?
Here's something else that may be relevant--I just replaced my battery with a large Bosch model. Could that burn out my coil?
Thanks for the help
