Just installed a new fuel pump on my 74 1/2 B. Had spark before I instralled new pump. All of a sudden no spark. Used the multi meter to run it down.
Figured I nailed it down to distributor problem. Changed points to electronic ignition. Still no spark. Have 12 volts to condenser, but can't seem to get it to discharge. Could it be something with the fuel pump??? Checked all grounds. ???????????

Your fuel pump is unrelated. I would double check your electronic installation.

The fuel pump DOES work, right? If not, check the fuse first.
If it does, then it's time to start looking at the dizzy as Steve says. Check the connections there and make sure you're getting voltage to it.

Found the culprit. Wire on electronic ignition I installed got pinched when the distributor cap was put on. Thast's what that little nylon tie is for !!!
Go figure.
Well, made it to the show in Brookline. My first. It was great.
