HELP! Trying to get the Old Coupe Runing.

[julian.saturno]

Hey guys, so here's the story. I am 19 not the best with engines and such but i am wanting to learn so i bought two old 600's to try to get running and learn from. I don't know if this was a bad move or not but they seem like a simple engine and parts are Relatively Cheap (I'm used to the cost of parts for a v12 BMW lol)
But ive been working on the Coupe latley, i got it to turn over, but i have no spark. I swithched the coil from the Sedan which had spark and still no spark.
Is there some electrical part that could have gone bad, or should i check for a cut wire?? or.....??
I will appreciate any! help or advice i can get!
thanks so much for your time
Julian.

Wow  you might be wrong on some of those things..  the car parts are not to bad to get because there is a few that are parting out there cars so there is a lot more parts than usual.  Part of this is because the motors are bad and this is where the car get really expensive.  The crankshaft, cam I think are the hardest to find,  If those two things are good the rest can most likely be found or there is a few guys here that have access to the parts or have them built.  I am not trying to talk you out of this at all,  I would like to see more of these cars saved and on the road.  I am sure more will give you help on this and it is a great group to learn from...  It might be best to do a search in the forums first and then if you cant find it, ask..   Good luck on your cars.

check the point and condenser. probably dirty points and also check make sure there's voltage to the primary circuit.
