Default Spark Problem
If it's not one thing it's another. At least these cars are easy to work on.

My 351 Cleveland is not starting. When pulling the coil wire at the distributor cap and turning over the engine, there is no spark until I release the ignition key. Then, when the engine is no longer turning over, one or two shots of spark will come through.

I don't get it. Especially since the car ran fine last week.

Anyone have any ideas on what the problem is? Is this the sign of a coil having gone bad? And if so, what may have caused it?

Thanks for your help,

Keith
