Default Re: No spark

The bad connection on the starter was the positive side of the coil going to the starter. The wire connector broke off from the wire at the starter. METER READINGS: I got a 12 on the meter with the black on the battery ground and the red on positive side of coil with the starter cranking the engine. With the ignition switch in the on position the meter reads 12 and drops to 5.6 when the points close. I do have 2 wires coming off of the positive side of coil, one goes to the starter (that I repaired) and one goes thru firewall that I'm having a hard time getting to because of my new ac evaporator but I'll find it tomorrow also I'll have to look at my ignition switch next. I do not have a white ceramic resistor on my firewall outside or inside of cab.
