Wrote this up on the ZCAR site with no replies. Hoping someone here can help? My 71 240 ran great, best it has in awhile. parked it for about 5 days and now I don't get any spark out of the coil until I turn the key back to the Run position.I have read other posts that make it sound like its the key/lock assy, but I tried a remote starter, wouldn't that bypass the key position?I see that new lock assemblies are cheap, but don't really want two keys. ( I know I can get it keyed alike but that costs more than the new part!)I have a new Pertronix and coil so I don't think that would be the issue, however I am only getting 10 volts at the + side of the coil. I assume that is the correct voltage with the internal resistor (please correct me if I'm wrong)Any others out there that have had the same experience? What did it turn out to be?Thanks! Couple of updates: 1) replaced the ignition switch and nothing changed. 2) tried jumping the + bat to the + coil no spark. 3) replaced the connection at the + coil since I was getting 12 volts from the wire but when plugged in it dropped to 10. I get a different reading almost every time I check the voltage. can anyone explain the starting process for our cars? I also have the pertronix system in my car so no external resistor and a 3 ohm coil. Anything helps!
