Hello I was just wondering if anyone had a clue as 2 where my spark would have gone it is getting through the coil but thats it. i have just rebuilt the engine and the wiring on the injector loom is an old gas conversion (gone now) so i am suspect on the wires and joins being the old ignition/injector firing unit has been replace with the gas 1 which is still there.
its all in an as you guessed an old 88svo which needs to be back on the road. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers

yeah those lifting points make me sweat to, the dizzy is on the money (not 180 out) and the spark is comeing down the coil lead but dosent get switched through the dizz?
