1983 242 DL wagon ignition coil issue?

posted by  someone claiming to be Joe heart on  Thu Jan 22 01:24 CST 2009 [RELATED]

No spark at the main wire going to the distributor leads me to believe that the current no start issue is problem with the ignition coil. It happened on a cold mornin, started and died after 3 seconds. Will no start scince. I replaced the cap and rotor in the distributor, as well a new set of spark plugs. My question is am I headed in the right direction...AND does anyone have a spare used coil for this model vehical in working condition?! This is a desperate situation as funds from no transportation to work are cutting into an already limited budget. Thanks so much in ya'lls time in considering. Take care and be well. (by the way, im located about 1 hour south of st. louis in carbondale IL if someones close by and wants to help :)


Much love to yall.
