What plug did I buy? GR4 stock #2635 I bought some parts and thought I would get some plugs. I told them no Chinese Autolites and these were about the same price as Champions.

All I know is I changed cap and rotor and now it won't start. I used a new cap and rotor for a points type distributor.

This is the 74 Fart Dart.

Raining 42* and dropping out so I will gap and antisieze the new plugs. Wait on the sleet to start in my heated shop while the Dart gets glazed with ice. :roll:

Most common cause of no-start after replacing cap and rotor is incorrect hookup and/or sequencing of the plug wires on the cap. #1 (frontmost) should get connected to the cap tower that's at about the 4:00 position as viewed from above, and the order is 1-5-3-6-2-4. What cap and rotor (brand and number) did you install? The plugs you bought are fine quality, but they're kind of on the hot side; they may limit the amount of spark advance you can run without ping...especially if you didn't remove the metal ring washers before installing them. Tune-up parts suggestions are in this thread.

Ratfarts! Need to cut the rings off! Already lubed :lol: Plug wires are correct. Even cleaned the corroded terminals.

(Firecore needs to make slant wires! )

Actully bought the plugs with checking here first. I set them at .037 with a stock coil.

Dan, I lost your number!! :lol:

This is the beater for now.

If the car has not been run in say six months and you put the new parts on I would check the point gap if they were tight and burned a contact points may be your problem. If the car was running check the primary wires to the distribtuor and points you could have damaged them . Thanks Ron Parker :D

No point gap to check on a '74 model (with electronic ignition).

OK make sure the electronic pickup was not moved and the air gap to the relucter is correct I think that is the right terms. Thanks Ron Parker :D

I don't think I got the rotor all the way down. I saw marks on several terminals where the rotor might have hit.

The rotor turns, is it possible I cracked a few teeth off the gear? I tries to fire every once in a while.

I have what I believe is a 74 motor in the shop with that can be a distributor donor.

I need to get a starter button.

The wires to the coil were loose. :roll: Former owner has hacked some crap in there. Too rainy and cold to look except tighten the nuts.


This thing kept dieing leaving the gas station. Everytime I put it in gear it stalled. After that it ran 4 miles home perfectly.

Is it possible to break the gear by not putting the rotor on right?

I couldn't work on this thing tonight too cold and rainy.

I am going to buy a starter button tomorrow to try on Wednesday.
