Just fixed same problem on my 72 70 hp. Check your points. Mine were blown up. Found them at AutoZone, Wells F1094MV ($2.99), also the plug is Autolite Z852 (found them at Advanced Auto ($1.99), the Champion is not made anymore.

Thanks new points should do the trick, I cleaned old points and it fired up.

Re: 1972 chyrsler 70 hp no spark

You found your points at autozone? I've been putting off buying new points because they cost $25-$30 from a Chrysler dealer.<br /><br /> Were the points the same as what you had before? Or are one set of points just as good as another?<br /><br /> One more thing, Champion does still make the L20V plug. Autozone doesn't carry it however. I had to go to O'Reilys auto parts to find it. I'm sure some others probably had it as well.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Shane

The points for the chrysler engine are actually FORD distributor points...also..the new spark plugs are L76V<---Champion or BUHW <---NGK<br /><br />TMD

Re: 1972 chyrsler 70 hp no spark

So should I just be able to take an old set of points to Autozone and them be able to match it?<br /><br /> Should we be using the L76V plugs then instead of L20V? Is the L76V a hotter plug?<br /><br />Shane

Re: 1972 chyrsler 70 hp no spark

Yes..they should be able to match it.<br /><br />As for the L20v's vs the L76v's the 76's should be hotter as the higher the num with Champion..the hotter the plug...works the other way with NGK<br /><br />TMD

Bonita16, I've searched Autozone online and can't come up with anything on the points with PN Wells F1094MV . Did you go to the store and match them?

Re: 1972 chyrsler 70 hp no spark

Bonita16 was right on about the points. I took an old set up to autozone earlier today. I didn't tell them anything about the part number. They searched for about 5 minutes and gave me what looked identical to mine. The brand is 'Wells' and the number is F1094MV. I believe that's exactly what Bonita said. I sure appreciate the info!<br /><br />Shane

This is great news. Now all we need is to find a place that sells new magneto coils.
