Little spark from valve cover touching back of alternator and now car won't start. Replaced ballast resistor, no help. Car has pertronix, otherwise stock. any guesses as to what I screwed up this time? Seems like gauges may not be moving, gas gauge is stuck at 1/8 and doesn't drop when key is off but maybe thats normal, thats about how much it was showing before. Thanks Greg
