OK guys I did something very stupid the other day in the 64 SS Malibu. I accidentally shifted into low gear at 65 MPH. Now the car wont start. HELP graemlins/angry.gif :confused:

I have tried a new rotor button, coil, cap, and wires. Used a multimeter to check the old coil and it was good. I have no spark on the number one plug no matter what I do.

Question: On the negative side of the coil, using a multimeter, is the ground supposed to open when the key is turned to the on position?

Also, I've been told a few other things.

Can over-revving the engine strip out the distributor gear?

Can the timing chain skipping a few teeth keep the car from having spark?(I know this is a dumb question)

Also, I am using a Crane XR-i points to electronic conversion on the distributor.

First,
take the distributor cap off, crank the engine and watch if the rotor turns...

Yes the distributor is turning........Too late now....I am putting the car in to have the 283 rebuilt. Thanks for the help though.
