On my way home on the freeway last night, my 74 2.0L just died travelling along at 70 MPH. Had her towed home.
Looking at it today, it appears there is no spark. If I turn the key, I can hear the fuel pump so seems like I got power there. I have a newer Bosch coil from PP that I put in a few months ago (it's one of those silver looking ones but a Bosch unit). I replaced the coil back with the old one and still no start. Car cranks, but no fire. The car has Pertronix in it. I suspect this is what died. Does that sound right to the folks here? |

If you work alone a lot set yourself up a remote start switch. Essentially across the starter. Or you can make two long leads with clips. Place spark plug in a wood board (hole drilled in board works nice) attach one lead on the spark plug wire then to the top of the plug. Take the other lead and find a good ground then place the clip on the bottom of the plug. Crank and you can see the spark in the drivers seat.
