Got the girl out of winter hibernation. Drove from my work shop 30 yards to my attached garage, went to stat her the next day and nothing........
replaced all spark plugs and coil. The car is not getting spark to the coil or the plugs. Any ideas?
Battery is new last fall and is fully charged turns over fine but no pop off what so ever.........
74 AMX 401
Thanks for the help in advance

Coil is usually the last thing to just quit. They will degrade.
Points? |
