Hello everyone... new to this group and have found alot of great information! Hoping someone can help my husband who is getting frustrated quickly with his new toy (which has some issues)....

Have a 1946 Chevy 327 small block - brought it home - engine ran but not great - found out it had a vacuum leak - it was a stripped stud on the intake. Got that problem fixed - ran great.... shut car off and not even 10 minutes later went back out to start it up again and now it doesn't appear to be firing at all.

It is getting gas - fire at the points - but the spark doesn't look blue - looks reddish and not steady.... tried starting fluid - NOTHING - not even a pop...

Any suggestions you all have would be GREATLY appreciated... it is driving him crazy.....he is thinking it might be a coil but if not then he may just switch everything to hei....

Thanks for your help!
