Two years ago, I purchased this 1947 Dodge Custom. It's my first 40s car, but definitely not my first Mopar! I only recently started working on it and am finding it adventurous to say the least. ?
The car sat for 30 years and the last owner fired it up to show it would run. It did, but I opted to leave it alone until I could invest more time and $. Now I'm trying to get it started and am running into issues. Motor moves freely, battery is new, fuel present at carb, but NO SPARK.
I haven't even started investigating, but my first thought is the coil. Except for the fact that it looks fairly new. ? On the fender wall, there is a voltage regulator, and two other fuse blocks (?) Or junctions. No idea. What I CAN tell you is that the original wiring is in place but the fabric covering has seen better days. I will start methodically ruling out one thing at a time and will keep my fingers crossed that it's not a matter of replacing all of the wiring!
I bought the manual for this car last year...and of course I can't find it. I'm sure it holds many answers, but in the meantime I'm grateful that this forum exists! Looking forward to getting it running ??♀️
