HELLLLLLLP!! I must be losing my mind. I lost spark on my '84 454. It was running 2 days ago. I shut it off, took off the carb, rebuilt it, put it back on, no spark. Mallory dual point dist. Checked power to coil, good, replaced points, and ballast resister.
A little background, this motor had been on my engine stand for 3 years, went thru and primed the oil pump, new plugs, cap, rotor, wires etc prior to starting. Fired right up, carb was leaking (holley 850) rebuild kit, sandpapered the points and that was it. Now I have nothing. Trying condenser tomorrow, new ballast resister started smoking put old one back in. Anyone have any ideas? What am I missing? I know it must be simple but I need to step back and get some ideas from some of you to clear my head. I've been a gear head since my teens and you don't want to know how old I am. Must be losing it!
