You were right, I was getting gas but then no start. We waited about 30 minutes there and Hershel came. We found only weak spark (only Hershel's fingers lighted up and not his nose). But car started. we made about 1 block and coil gave out on side of road. Hershel diagnosed no spark from coil and we had to wait till 10am for Heber parts store to open although Hershel even offered to drive to payson or ShowLow to get coil if that was the problem. Master auto-repairman Lyle showed up and we waited for a while, then Tom Thorsen showed up and had the same (almost) coil as mine. He offered to let us try his and my moter started right up so not MSD box. Then Lyle noticed a loose connection in my Ford Duraspark horshoe contact at coil and simply attached the wires direct -- problem solved. We went home. Today I bought and installed a new direct wire Blaster 2 coil so no connection problem again.
