I have a 1969 mustang 302 with a full MSD electronic ignition. It all began when I started to wire in a tach. I cut no wires, spliced no wires, merely attached a few here and there. I didn't have time to finish the job, so I decided to undo it and start from scratch later on when I was sure I'd have time to do it right. I returned everything back to normal, turned the key, and it didn't start. At this point however, it DID have power to the key, it turned over when I turned the key, and never started.
At this point, I replaced the solenoid. It no longer turns over at the key, I have zero power to anything inside the car. I bridged the solenoid on the two positives, the car turned over just like before, but once again, no start. I checked the coil, no spark there.
At this point, I was told to replace my ignition switch by my local AutoZone. I did, no power at the key. It still turns over when I bridge the gap on the solenoid, but no start, no spark at the coil. The coil isn't the issue, because I've tried multiple coils, still no difference.
What it ISN'T:
Solenoid ground
Coil ground
Solenoid
Ignition Switch
Battery
Ignition coil
Next step is to look at the starter. I'd like to know what I should look out for specifically when I get underneath my car and begin to inspect the starter. Any information helps!
