[T3] Car won't start...

[Keith Park]

With the ignition on, check voltage at the coil, you can manually work the
points with a screwdriver (touch ONLY the insulated handle)and see if you
can get a spark out of the center of the coil to ground by placing that wire
close to it.  Listen for fuel pump.  no starts if its an FI problem can only
be a couple things, bad head temp sensor, open circuit to trigger contacts
or dirty contacts or a bad ground at the ground gang.

My non-working car's been flat-bedded home.  ''71 w/ ''73 engine, FI, stick.
Just this for now.   How to eliminate Ignition Switch as the problem?
Symptoms:Key turn does it's thing with fuel relay. Nothing otherwise.
Crossing Solenoid with Starter (key off) produces whirring noise.Car
backfired, lightly, twice when it died.
