Hi peeps. I'm new to this forum... I have a 1971 Barracuda, she's got a 440 with an A-833 4 spd, finally got her in the garage, I changed all the fluids, flushed the tank, put in a new battery 1000 cc amps, new MSD blaster coil, she turns over but I'm getting no spark, Mopar has so many electronic gizmos, I'm not sure where to start, I have lights and accessories, just no spark, any suggestions?

I would get a cheap test light and ground the clip to the negative side of the battery and take the pointer and with the key on see if you have power to the positive side of the coil. If you don't then trace the wire back to the next and see if there is power. Keep going till you find power and there is your problem. Maybe ballast resister or could be a loose wire

Welcome from So Cal. I just went thru this with my 71 with electronic ignition. Go to the Forum labeled Ignition and Electrical. My discussion is labeled "no spark". There is a lot of diagnostic info listed my great members, solved my problem. Box and its harness were replaced and solved the issue. Good luck!
