All fixed . Coil was bad . I wonder the auto parts man tells me the coils are different between electronic ignition and points .Although I can't recall I might have purchased the bad coil for a 67 GTX . Electronic ignition was not around in 67 .It was only maybe 2 years old . Live and learn long as this fix last I'm happy .

Well it's not the coil

Up on trying to start the car with no luck yesterday morning I turned back here . I read Trevors post with his spring tip about checking the dis air gap . Was right on the money .

My gap was 25 thousands instead of 8 . Not sure how the car ever started . I never checked it . When it was new i just put it in thinking it was all set and it ran . I can't get over how easy it starts now . Thanks every one This site is the best .

I wouldn't have guessed that. I thought a large gap would give you erratic spark, not a weak one. One to remember.

At least you have a nice new ignition now.

Should be trouble free for a while
