I messed up timing 84rx
I set the timing for the leading on the Yellow mark no problem, car is running great. I put the timing light connector on T1 and noticed that it was realy off the mark. when I loosened up on the 2 screws the car died. now i can't get it started. After shifting the vacuum post to various positions I am really stumped. Do you have any suggestions?

Check your coil wires making sure they are correct. The car will run on leading only but not vice versa. You could take off the vac advance as well, but I dont think thats your prob.

I took 2 coils off of a running 85 rx still no spark.i also changed both high tension wires and spark plug wires. I am stumped. Does the juice flow from the coils to the distributor? Whatever supplies the juice to the coils seems to be the problem. What do you think.
