I replaced the postive cable which was absolutely trashed but i suppose the negative cable could be bad as well. You are right about one thing and that is leaving the wires out in the elements does cause a lot of corrosion to wires. i honestly didnt getta do anything with it today as i went to Worley with the family and went firework shopping then mom went to the casino and got carried away with that LOL. Well ill work on that tommorow and pray it makes some sort of difference and hopefully i can figure out why on earth it aint getting spark. If you have time one of these days would you mind stopping by and seeing if there is any obvious reason i aint seeing of why it aint getting spark? Ive been dying to getta take that thing out to the trails and go wheeling now that weve finally had some decent weather.
thanks Jeremy

Well the confusing part is when i checked the old disty cap it was obviously bad. The piece of metal that connects to the rotor had fallen off and was resting in the tray of the disty. It appears the coil has power though it must not or something else was wrong cause when i tested it there was absolutely no spark. For no i cant even get the starter or fuel pump to turn which seeing as how everything seems where it should be and tight is an anomaly all on its own.

Well a bit ago i got a new disty cap for the buggy. got it in there and it still wont get spark. now none of the electrical is working either for some reason. Im gonna try taking a multimeter to it and seeing where its failing at tommorow. I did get the mazda runing good but id much rather be in a subaru LOL.

Hey this may be a long shot but if there happens to be a category for full sized trucks i have an idea for a derby vehicle. A friend of mine has a 70 something chevy truck thats a real rust bucket for $125. It has a good 4 speed transmission and he claims the motor works but needs a carby and an oil pump. Im not sure if this is what your looking for but i figured id ask worst you can say is hell no LOL. Im actually considering getting it if the motor is good because those old 292 i6 motors are major torque monsters and we all know a good 4 speed chevy transmission is a valuable commodity in the offroad world.
