1967 chrysler 55hp no spark

Spray a quick shot of WD in each cylinder.
Dragging starter:: weak battery(even new can be bad) load test it. bad starter(even new can be bad) rebuild it.
​Bad battery cables, bad connections, bad solenoid, gears/ bearings in the lower unit seizing. Remove and see if that makes a difference?

Thanks Jerry I need to check the cables and contacts on the starter. It will spin the wheel no problem with the plugs out. Does that narrow it down at all?

 

[justindc]

Cleaned all of the contact points and it is spinning nice and fast now. Still can't get it to start. I think it's a fuel problem and the pump isn't doing it's job. I get fuel to the carb when pumping the ball but I don't think it's getting any when trying to start.

Hey Jerry, do you by chance know what type of spark plugs I should be putting in here?

 

[jerryjerry05]

No I don't.
Just replace the ones that are in there.
You have a spark tester? They're fairly cheap$6-7 and easy to use.

1967 Chrysler 55Hp with battery ignition system should have Champion L4J or equivalent.
