Hello, I am new to the board. I have a 69 1800 and did some clean up /rewiring on the ignition. I removed an old ‘gold brick’ device that was there when I bought it. I replaced with new the coil (Bosh Blue), rotor, cap and Pertronix ignition. Got it fitted and timed and the car started great. Went for a test drive and a few miles into the trip, it died. Towed it back and took out the Pertronix and put in new Points and Condenser. No Luck.

Everything looks good to me. I am getting 3 ohm across the Bosch coil. Getting 13-14 v on the positive terminal. Getting about the same on the negative terminal with points open. Can pull the main feed to the distributor block and get spark, but don’t get any spark to the plugs. Any ideas?
