After completely rebuilding my eb I go to crank it and it won't fire. Thought maybe my coil was bad, bought a new one. it wasn't that. checked my brain box, not that. I found that I was only getting 6.37 volts coming through the firewall to my coil, distribator, and brain box. traced it back to my ignition and found a fusable wire that had burned up. I was getting 12.48 infront of this wire. Guess what I replaced wire and am getting 12 to coil, but won't start still. Checked some more and now I only have 10.56 volts in the same spots, then rechecked and I have 6 again!!!!! WTF!!! I am know to the point were I am gonna build my own custom dash and rewire everthing. This thing ran 4 months ago "after" the wreck and now nothing!! Does anybody have any ideas or have had this happen to them before??:?

Give us some details on your ignition system. Is it duraspark or aftermarket?
