QuoteSwap coils around. If nothing changes swap condensers around.
Quoteagreed. if that doesnt do it, plug the choke crossover and swap carbs.
Thanks for the replies. As soon as I read this I thought It could not be this simple. I spent enough time on the points & timing to know the correct cylinders were sparking with the correct coil, but of course it is worth a shot. So with high expectations I swapped the coil leads & it would not fire at all, so I put them back & started it. Within 30 seconds the issue became all too apparent. Engine / transmission oil began spurting out of the right header flange. I shut it down & thought well thats what happens to a 50 year old rd engine that has never had the cases split. To be fair I was very far along with this engine before I even learned of the potential Crank seal problems with these engines, so I hoped for the best . . So we know what im doing or at least starting this week end. . Has any one seen one this bad that oil is preventing ignition? & spewing forth from the header connection? Or probably you guys know - Do not assemble the motor with out doing the seals. . I have a good out look here, chalk it up to experience & move on. .
