<p>Does the distributor rotate? Has timing been lost because of a
loose clamp bolt?</p>

Healey quit on me the other day (BJ8). Was running great,
then a slight miss for a mile or so, then very suddenly quit.
Tach went to zero instantly. Fuel pump clicks after it has
sat for awhile, engine turns over rapidly, but nothing
happens, even with starter fluid. Not a whimper.<br>

<p><font face="Tahoma">So far I have:</font></p>
<p><font face="Tahoma">Checked for spark at a plug. OK, but may
not be under load.</font></p>
<p><font face="Tahoma">Checked for fuel flow at filter exit.
Plenty.</font></p>
<p><font face="Tahoma">Per instructions in the manual, opened
points and checked for voltage at coil SW and CB, at
distributor connection from coil, across points, all 12v.</font></p>
<p><font face="Tahoma">Closed points, removed high tension lead
from distributor and looked for spark on opening points. I
get a good 3/16" spark.</font></p>
<p><font face="Tahoma">Checked point gap. 0.015". Points look
new.</font></p>
<p><font face="Tahoma">Replaced condenser. I've heard they are
not always ok. No change.</font></p>
<p><font face="Tahoma">The distributor was gone thru recently,
with new rotor and points. Look clean, no carbon tracks, etc.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Tahoma">Puff test on carbs. OK.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Tahoma">Any ideas? Coil?<br>
