[QUOTE=Don Shillady;533019] Yesterday I replaced the chrome version of the Flamethrower coil with another plain brown Flamethrower that worked before and I got the same brief start of the engine so I am pretty sure I have spark


Don, if you have a volt meter. Test for voltage with the key on at the Positive connection of the coil. I'm thinking the problem is in your ignition switch or the ignition wire. That's why you get the brief start while cranking because the starter has fed voltage to the coil.

Of course this is just a hunch.. and a diagnosis from a long way a'ways...
