a 50 year old harness is asking for trouble. install new or rewire it yourself.Anyone have an old 70 under dash harness that is uncut or not burned/melted that they would like to get rid of?
Ya I've got one but there's a reason it is in a box in the shed. I wouldn't trust it. By the time I'm done with all the bodywork, paint and interior work, the last thing I want is to burn down my car.

Man I'm sorry.Well not good news. Would not start. No spark to the plugs or no power to the coil. Car turns over fine.
New engine wiring harness
New under the dash wiring harness
New coil
New ECM
New fusible link
Distributor? Rotor button? I'm gonna check that tomorrow.
Grounds? I've checked them.
Ignition Switch?
Alternator? I did put a new one on and the wiring harness was for the new flatback style.
I'm tired started this evening at 6pm.
With a electronic distributor?Do you have 12 volts at positive side of coil? If not, work that problem using the wiring diagram. Also, if no 12 volts at coil you can run a temporary jumper wire from battery positive to positive side of coil and car should start and run. Key word is temporary.
