And PSHCEEEEW it was gone...

[Bill <Y1TopBanana73@xxxxxxxxx>]

Went to take the Coronet our for a ride this evening, turned a corner,
hit the gas, and it let out a "PSCHEEEEW" backfire through the carb
and then it was dead. I changed the ballast resistor again...that's
not it. It didn't have spark but I didn't get into diagnosis other
that putting the coil wire near a bolt and cranking. How often do
fairly new coils, or Pertronix units take a dump? Can someone go over
the coil diagnosis procedure for me again? I'm REALLY rusty w/
electrical stuff. Also, how would I tell the coil from the Pertronix
unit being bad if I have power where I need to have it?

Thanks
