I have a 71 GT, the engine turns over fine but ther is no fire going to the plugs. so I made sure the points where set at 0.018 and left the cap off the dis. Then I removed wire from the coil that runs to the Distributer and connected a test light between the two terminals and and turn the the engine over and the light blinked so I put the wire back on the coil and tried it again and I saw a spark at the points so I figued that was right.
I then left the key on and disconected the wires from the other side of the coil 1 was hot and 1 was not.. Is that right??
I thought it was,,,, So I reconected the wires, and put the rotor button and Dis. Cap back on, and tried to start it it turned over a few times( with out sarting) and I let off the key leaving it in the on Position,, Next thing I see is smoke from under the distributer cap and my points have melted,, I have been fidling with this for a while now and melted about 8 sets of points trying to figure it out..
Thanks a lot for any help
