Thats exactly it. Everything always looks good on paper, but this was how it
all unfolded.
I attempted to loosen the bolts for the electrical wires on the coil and they
literally just unscrewed INTO the ignition coil. I couldn't get them back out,
so I decided to get a new coil, which was a trip to the auto store.
To get the ignition coil off, I needed to remove the air filter and carburetor.
However, the bolts holding the ignition coil onto the engine just wouldn't come
off. When I used an impact wrench, the bolt busted. I ended up drilling them
out.
So after buying a new coil and installing it and putting everything together,
the car wouldn't start. After sime debugging, I realized the parts store sold
me a bad coil. So I went to the store again, got another one, reinstalled it.
This time, the car fired up and the tach worked.
So much for 15 minutes, lol.
