    Can Not Figure Out Why No Spark at Plugs

    Why so negative, Bob? Not everyone is a professional mechanic but that doesn't mean they can't ask questions. I've never had an old car that needed fixing only ONCE, sometimes unexpected problems arise, sometimes even a newer car has repeat problems. Especially with vehicles that are not...

    Can Not Figure Out Why No Spark at Plugs

    The only time I've had that problem - running fine normally but not after sitting all night - I found condensation inside the cap, allowing the spark to travel everywhere except the intended wires.

    Battery goes dead, no obvious reason.

    That is high. A good battery should lose only 3-5% per month. It's true about higher temperatures, the ideal is 50°F. Higher than that means more chemical activity

    You can try inserting a usb flash drive with music on it into that jack and seeing if it will read it.

    Retro Stereos

    If your paint is clean (so it will stick) you can put down adhesive Velcro strips. Just lay down a strip, place wires across it, and put the second piece on top to secure...

    Engine dies like key was turned off

    You might also check to see if the power wire to the coil is properly tightened, and not possibly grounding out anywhere to cut the ignition.

    no spark at plugs

    It's a spark PLUG. It's supposed to plug the spark. Can you imagine the hazards of an actual open spark in the vicinity of a gasoline/air mixture?

    If your car is really loud so you want a powerful stereo to punch through all that, you'll end up with hearing loss.

    What wire is this?

    It's hard to tell, but maybe it's 20 gauge?

    Blue dot advance springs

    Since the A and B distributors rotate in different directions, I thought there would be other changes inside as well.

    No power to the head light plugs

    Check this thread: 72 Charger hidden headlight problem

    Car dies when using indicators or when brake light turns on.

    I'd start by putting a voltmeter on the ignition wiring, both distributor and coil, and seeing if the readings fluctuate when turning on the signal lights.

    1963 Polara headlight upgrade suggestions?

    Pulsing lights could indicate that one of the diodes is shot in the alternator.

    1970 Plymouth dash dead/looking for modern replacement gauges

    The reason scrap metal prices stayed low is the same reason there was a metal shortage; mills were shut down. It wasn't a raw material problem.
