Hey! One of my favorite projects here. The simplest way to go. First you need to make sure the wireing harness is setup for TFI system. It should have a couple big connectors by the driver side fender well in the engine bay. You will need a TFI module. Next you can use the original distributor or buy a new electronic one. If you use the original you have to buy a new stator and cap. I also recomend a new coil and preferably get rid of the balast resistor. This should complete your project.

1970 Chevy c20 3/4 ton with a 350 and a manual transmission, points distributor

How stock is ignition and charging system?

Assuming stock ignition, check for near battery voltage (within 3 volts or better) at the positive side of the ignition coil while the ignition switch is in the run position.

If no power at coil positive then likely a fuse has blown or other open circuit... miswire or open ignition coil resistor wire.

If power at coil positive, check for power at coil negative. If near battery voltage at coil negative then points are open and you should get spark at ignition coil secondary by flashing the coil negative with a jumper wire to ground.

Comment for further assistance.

1970 Ford F100 Gas Gauge Not Working

It may be the sending unit in the tank that needs replacing. Here's how you can check: Turn the key on and disconnect the sender unit at the gas tank. Ground the sender unit's wire with a jumper wire from the truck's harness to ground. Watch the gauge. If the gauge on the dash is good, grounding the sender wire will cause the gauge needle to react and should move to full. This would indicate a new sending unit is required. If the gauge doesn't move when the sender unit is grounded, the gauge is bad and needs replacing. Pull the instrument cluster out to replace the gas gauge. Likely any old ford gas gauge might work-back then, there were not so many production changes.

I have a 73 ford 1.6 industrial motor. need electronic distributo

Look on E-bay for an electronic CD unit that fires from the original points, but generates about 400 volts to fire the standard coil. My guess is that there is no all-electronic ignition system available even as a racing option. Ford used this engine in the Pinto line of cars from`'71 to `73, and all of them used points and condenser distributors. The points and condenser units work fine if in good order and the point gap set at .025". Hope this gives you an assist!

Need electronic ignition wiring diagram for a 1966 thunderbird

The only place that I know that has a wiring diagram is the factory shop manual which is available thru any thunderbird restoration parts suppliers or ebay. If the electronic ignition, they called it transistorized ignition in 66, is original, you might consider changing to a point type ignition or a later electronic ignition or aftermarket like Petronics. The parts for the original transistorized ignition are very hard to find and even more pricier.

This sounds like a telltale choke issue. You running carburated right?
If it is what i think it is you have a choke thermostat on the carb. If so check the votage on the wire and if you have power then the choke thermostat has to be replaced. you can do a manual set of the choke behind the carb just to see if this is the problem.
