Hi
I recently bought a 1948 Ford F1 with a 460 v8 under the hood I can crank it over, but get no spark. I put a new coil in as the old one was missing. The former owner bought it running six years ago. So I replaced the coil, (it has a standard ignition) and checked for spark - none. The wire going to the + side of the coil is hot and registers 12volts on the meter, with the key on. If I cross the coil to the negative side of the coil with the meter going from positive to negative, I get o volts. I'm thinking the wiring in the distributor may be wrong but lack a schematic to go from here, any advice would be appreciated. Steve.
