Hello Everyone. Have I got a new problem for all. My husband used to be a member- MDC75. He told me that if this happened to our Z car then I would be screwed. Well my worst fear has happened. I went to pull the hood latch on my 75 280 and the cable broke!!! Is there anyone that has had this happen to them & what was their solution? Thank you very much.

71 240Z, all stock. I get no spark from the coil. I've changed out the points for a known good set, same with condensor. Using a test light, I have power at both sides of the coil. I changed it out for another, I believe to be good, not sure. With ignition on, points open, I have power to both sides of the coil. Where do I go from here? It's been a couple of days since I tried last, and I can't remember what I had with points closed. I want to be sure that everything is operating correctly to the coil before I condemn it. Devin
