Just tried to fired up my freshly rebuilt 440. No go. I have 12 volts to the end of the coil wire where it plugs into the distributor but when I put an inline tester on one of the plug wires it shows no spark. I have the engine ground on the back of the engine attached to the fire wall. This is a Firecore RTR system which eliminates the orange box and ballast resistor. I have this set up in my 68 Charger and it fired first crack. I also used a suction pump to pull fuel to to carb and dumped a small amount of fuel into the carb. I even installed this carb on my other Charger last week to make sure it worked properly. If I screwed up the plug wiring wouldn't I at least have spark?
My Dad always told me, when setting goals " avoid disappointment, aim low".
