My son picked up a New Yorker with 85k miles. We reworked the brakes and took the beat up AFB off and put a Street Demon (I really like it but the linkage had to be chopped a bit for clearance).
The day we ended up registering the car, he drove to his friends house and the car just died going down the road.
I went out with every ignition part I could change easily with no luck, no spark. We got a tow home and I took his coil, resistor, icm, and a spare distributor and bench tested everything. So I thought it was the distributor and even took that out and swapped it on on my bench- but zap zap zap, everything functions fine.
When I went to reinstall everything, I had another a-ha moment when I realized the last repairman put the resistor in up-side down and I put it all together correctly. I drove around town, made a couple stops with no issue and parked the car in front for the first time in a month.
Now I got no spark.
Does anybody got ideas?
Of course I polished up and greased up ground and terminal connections too.
