It's a 78 landau, has a 351W under the hood. It only has 80k mile and RAN fine. It has a leak in the haedgasket. I could see traces of water in the oil, it had froth in the radiator, and it would be empty on coolant every 2 days. I let a friend borrow it. They drove it empty on coolant for about 8 miles where it laid down. I put a new starter on it, its getting fuel, but has a weak orange spark when I check the spark at the plugwire. And it is not even attempting to start.
What in henry fords name is the problem here?
I've run lesser fords w/ lesser motors red hot before. Even if the head gasked breached fully into one cylinder or more, it should still start or at least try. Could it be the coil?
