I inherited a 1957 ford 600 from my grandfather I'm trying to get running. It used to run good but sat up for the past year and a half. Anyway I'm not sure what's going on but I can't get any spark. A lot of the wiring looks rough so it's a little hard to narrow down. At first I thought it could be the ignition switch so temporarily I took off the 2 wires and twisted then together to make sure I'm getting connection. Still I'm not getting any spark from the coil itself. I went and got a new coil and still no spark from the coil. I even tried wiring it strait to the battery. Measuring on the coil with a multimeter I have 12 volts on both sides of the coil and at the output. To make sur the coil wire was ok I measured at the end and get 12v there too, but still I can't get any fire when grounding the coil wire or a plug. Am I only supposed to get 12v at the coil output? Shouldn't it be multiplied by the coil? What could keep it from firing if the coil is strait wired? Also my starter button isn't working. I have 12 volts on the wire connected to it. Is that something that could keep it from firing? If I touch the 12v wire coming from the starter swirh to the grounded button the starter turns. Is that supposed to do that? Thanks in advance.
