Starting the engine part 2

After several attempts, the engine would not fire. Barry started checking the plugs and found there was no spark. This was odd because the electrical system seemed to be in top form and we had a new Petronix electronic ignition system installed.

Bob dropped in and checked the ignition coil, wires and electronic distributor. He found the electronic ignition module was not delivering a pulse to the coil.

I called Pertronix technical support and they made two suggestions: the engine not grounded properly (fresh engine paint?), or the ignition module was not receiving enough voltage (9V+ required).
