Engine Will Not Start

Connect voltmeter between "BAT" terminal lead on distributor connector and ground. Turn ignition switch on. If voltage is zero, check system for open circuit. If reading is battery voltage, connect a modified spark plug (plug that has ground electrode cut off) to center brush contact in distributor cap. Crank engine, if spark occurs trouble is not in ignition system. Check fuel system, spark plugs and wires for trouble. If sparking does not occur, follow procedures under Component Testing.
