" From: russ hathaway <russh97309@xxxxxxxxx>

" I have a 78 Concord 304 that is driving me nuts. It won't start. When
" I release the key from the start position it tries to start and if I
" am lucky it'll fire, but the key returns to off too soon. I hooked up
" one of those spark testers and I get no spark while it is cranking,
" then when I release the jumper it sparks for an instant. 
" I took off the batt cable to charge it as I wore the battery down
" cranking, and the car cranked for a second. Whats going on????....Russ

the coil ordinarily has a ballast resistor, even in the duraspark ign
system, bypassed while cranking...  could the relay contacts that
manage this be bad?
