Default Re: Not getting fire!! Won't start. PLEASE HELP FAST!!

Remove the distributor cap, and turn the engine-watching the points to verify spark across the points. Check under the distributor plate that mounts the points to see if there is a short in the wire that brings the power from the ignition switch up to the points. The ignition switch may be bad, cutting off power to the system. If you are getting fire to your points, check the gap between the contact points inside the cap to the rotor. Check the resistance on the coil wire. Just some places to look.
