Re: 1952 300 not starting

Have you kept the battery charged. If it has gotten run down with sitting or all the starting attempts, the load of the starter motor may be enough to drop the voltage going to the coil. Even if you appear to have spark, it generally takes a few more KV to jump a gap when in a compressed vs normal atmosphere, so if the coil voltage is low, possibly the spark is too weak to jump the gap.
