My 64 dart wont start
Hello, I am new to working on cars and my 64 Dart is having an issue. I was driving it to work and it got there fine. But when i went to lunch it wouldn't fire up. It turns over just fine and its getting gas. I also checked the spark plugs and they were not getting spark. I changed the coil and still have the same problem. Is there anything else i might be over looking?
A couple days ago my 64 (at left) "Baby", sarted to sputter, comming off light under med gas. Pull in NAPA, replace fuel filter, go on with fingers crossed.
Still happens.
Home.....
Pull cap, rotor button, clean with 800 grit, blow out. Clean points. Put all back together. Cranks fine, getting gas but won't start.
Replace with new: Cap, rotor, points, condensor. $30.00 Advance in stock!!!!
Starts but runs rough.
Bump engine till points are "peaked" on high lobe "open". Adjust points (.014-.019) I opted for .016 gap.
Sarted with a bump of the key. Hooked up vacume guage, lossened distributor and moved back and forth while running to "peak" reading in the green normal section. Shut off & put everything back together.
TADA!
Runs like grandmas race car again! Will chirp shifting to second if needed!!!
Good Luck!8)
