Well, I got it running this morning.Turns out it was something to
do with all the rain we've had lately.The points had a light
corrosion film on them, the plug wires/straps and sparkplug tops
also had some corrosion.So I cleaned up all electrical connections,
replaced the coil (which probably wasn't necessary), cleaned up
all wiring terminals, and gave the battery an overnight recharge.
Near as I can figure, with the weak electrical connections and
the battery being drained down, I wasn't getting enough juice
to make the sparkplugs spark.So, YIPPEE it runs again.
Now I don't want to sell it, but still figure I need to because I don't
want to make two cross country drives for my relocation.Guess if
I do sell this truck I'll end up shopping for another one once
I'm settled in and working again.Who cares if the truck only
goes 30mph, it's a lot more fun than any newer car at 70mph.
