  • Its either the starter, battery or alternator.
  • If it cranks but doesn't fire it's the coil... The original coil is riveted to the bracket, you have to grind the head off the rivet and punch it out then attach the new coil with the included bolts.
  • Most likely it's a problem with Moisture getting into the Electrical or Ignition system, and disrupting the Current flow. Try spraying WD-40 on the Connections around the Distributor, and the Wiring Harness, and it will probably Start. If that Solves your Immediate Problem, then you know the Culprit, and can take steps to prevent the Problem in the Future by using Dia-Electric Grease on all the Connetions to help keep the Moisture from getting in. You should also look to see if water is leaking into the Engine Compartment through an opening such a Hood Scoop, or Vent and where it is collecting on the Engine or Firewall, and what Electrical Connections or Componets are being affected, then Sheild them, or move them if possible so they won't get wet.
  • dear sir i have had this problem before and it was the plug wires, simply for the fact that the moisture from the rain in the air caused them to jump fire, look under your hood in the dark and look for wild loose sparks also try this on a rainy day if you can get it started.
