I need help getting my car started...there's no spark. Im located by Trenton, any TC member looking to help me out? I will compensate you, PM me...Finally decided to take a new view on life and getting this chevelle up an running is a major part of it....any help appreciated... I don't trust the local mechanics...


The local place i went to did this, you can read all about it.

I just read you thred on the shop you dropped it off and was going to suggest you ask for help because someone here must live near you who can help. I hope you get some replies and get her going.

If you were a little closer to me, I would fix it for you. I just don't have the time to run all the way up to Trenton at this time. It's about an hour drive each way

EDIT: If it's an HEI distributor, the module probably went bad. If it's still a points set up, probably the points/condenser are bad.

anyone else....?

i would offer but i am away for the weekend till tuesday if you dont have any luck by then I will give it a whirl

See I told ya, somebody here at TC will give you a hand.

Im gonna get HEI wiriing diagram and figure it out...started looking already...just dont know what tools i will need to do it myself...

First thing I would do is "borrow" an HEI module from the parts store (buy it and return it if it doesnt work). Im pretty sure thats the most likely culprit but, Ive been wrong before.

what Will said....if you have an Autozone or Advance nearby,they'll test the module for free. You need to remove the cap and rotor to access the module. You'll need a flathead screwdriver for the cap,probably a philips for the rotor and a 1/4" socket for the module IIRC...and some patience :)

Chris and Will, im gonna be bugging you guys until I personally get this car running with my own hands; i have certain boost of inspiration to fix it on my own :beers::thumbsup::)

Hell yeah, thats the spirit.

Don't forget to have the most important thing in your tool box. Beer:yes:

Good luck.:thumbsup:

Shoot,
Haul your car down here to the mountains and we'll get that baby going good.
Just thought I'd offer.....and I would help you out.
We'll just do whatever else you want to the car while you are here.
Sounds like you need a vacation anyway.
