Triumph Repair: Spitfire electrical, loose nuts, voltage components


Question
my 79 Triumph was running great then the hose next to the
coil broke and shot antifreeze around. I fixed the house
and now the vehicle won't start (just cranks). Doesn't
appear to be a fuel problem. Doesn't seem to be getting
electricity through the coil. Any thoughts? What the box
the coil is mounted on top of? Tried to unmount the coil,
however, the two 1/2 bols just spin and spin. Thanks in
advance.

Answer
Hi Fred,
You may need to dry out the ignition system if it get soaked with coolant. Cap, rotor and ignition wires. Only high voltage components are effected by coolant or water.
I am not familiar with any box that the coil is mounded on, You may need to remove the box to see what it is and to access the loose nuts.
