My '75 3.0 has been running well until it became hard to start. After leaving for about an hour it then started and ran fine. However, now it will not start at all and there is no spark. Whilst turning over you can hear a one off "crack" noise that appears to be an electronic discharge of some sort.
I recalled having this problem before (checking back found it was 33 years ago, in 1987!).
At that time the dealership tested the ignition system and got it started but could not say what the problem had been except to say if it re-occured to remove the black/purple feed to the tacho, thus isolating it. I have tried this, to no avail this time (nor do I have any idea why this should have had any bearing on the problem!).
Any ideas or suggestions greatfully received!
