  1. Ok, going to take more pictures and try a few things. Will let you know what I find.
  2. I tried holding a spark plug to the block, just to see if there was anything at all. No, there was no spark. So going to try and remove the box that is on the coil and see if that helps, but not sure if no spark means the coil is dead regardless of the secondary box.
  3. Hello, So I changed the thermostat on my Herald yesterday, and afterwards when I went to start the car, it ran rather poorly. I assumed it was from the cold weather and sitting for a couple days waiting on parts. But today I went to start the car, and it wont start. It turns over, but wont fire off. I am getting fuel to the carb, so i began to look at the electrical side of things. I found a few different things. 1) The ground wire from the temp gauge isnt really grounded at all, so will be tring to sort that out when I find a place to ground it to. 2) I opened what I thought was the fuse box, but instead found the following wires connected together by a bent piece of metal. Are these wires suppose to be fused? Does anyone know what wires are suppsoe to be run to each other? Is there a fuse box i can buy and run all the wires to? 3) I have this box piggy backing my coil, and it goes to the distributor cap. I was told it helps, and is an upgrade to go with the alternator conversion on the car. Is there anything I should check or replace on this? Is this something I am better off getting rid of? So, any ideas of what else to look for to get the car running again would be of great help. Thanks Kevin
