Kaiser Forum / Re: No spark

Thank you Sir for your response and say hi to Barbara for me. The check list is great. Your check list is similar to what I have done. Sometimes you have to back to square one. So far I have done that only 32 1/2  times. Ok I exaggerated a little bit, but it sure felt like it. I am going to check again using your list. A different set of eyes is always good. A couple of things you touched on were interesting though. You mentioned the wire between coil and switch. By saying switch were you referring to the ignition switch. Right? I have thought about but never pursued it. I know Kaiser does not have a fuse box it looks like just of Fusible links. Would there be one under the dash or just the switch. The coil is brand new.
             I Just want to run this by you. I was getting weak spark at the coil but then no spark. Also when I put the new coil on and went to start her, as soon as I turned the key to start her I head a slight pop and once again would not start. The pop could have been anything. I

Kaiser Forum / No spark

Hey Folks,1 have a 1953 Manhattan. Her name is Dorothy. Well I think I killed her..
           There is part of the distributor housing that flares out where the bolt goes through and attaches to the head to secure the distributor that is broke. There was a small washer that was put on there to hold the two pieces together but the distributor does move slightly.. So I made a washer  to fit  better and hopefully it would put more pressure evenly on both halves..
            Ok this is where I think I killed her.. I did not know or would not even think that taking that bolt out I would have a geyser of antifreeze shoot out. After that she would no start. Getting no spark but she will turn over. Ok, so this it what I did, based on something got wet and shorted
Out.
1). changed The points and Condenser. Still no spark
2) changed coil. nope no spark.
  So if anyone has any ideas. I am all ears.
                                                                   Thanks

You should also contact the Bulletin Editor to see about a PARTS WANTED ad.  Most of the people on the Forum are not members.

Thanks I will

Looking for new or good used? Lens only or the entire housing and lens assembly?

Hey thanks. Good used or new one.. I guess it Would depend on price. I need just the lens it looks like there is two parts clear on the inside and red on the outer part..

Wayne...serious bummer on the tail light...

Does your Manhattan have a standard transmission or the hydramatic?

Also, contact Larry Smith and Larry Barker about a replacement tail light...chances are one of them have one.

Hey thanks, it just sucks. It is a standard. I will try them..
