Does that makes sense to you?
Kind of. I didn't know the dizzy made the coil produce a spark, I thought the coil sent the spark to the dizzy.
I've decided i'm gonna get a new distributor but there's no way i can attempt to fit it myself cos i've got no idea how to set the igniton timing.
I don't know who i can get to do it though as i can't take it to a garage as it doesn't start
Cheers for the info
