Coils and Compression?????

[hawk21_2001]

I am getting no fire to any of my spark plugs so I am going to get a new coil for it. It is a 1972 model Chrysler so I figure it could use a few new parts anyway!! It is also turning over by compressions, meaning as I try and turn it over it only turns the flywheel about 1/2 to 3/4 turn at a time. Basically saying that it only turning on the lighter side of each compression. As I take a sparkplug out it gets easier to turn over. So I was wondering if when I bought a new ignition coil to get fire to the plugs, and start it by pullstring, do you think it will free up the engine or loosen it to make it start easier by ignition?? Also, I would like to ask if anyone knows the oil/gas mixture on this old motor?? Someone told me it was 50/50 but that seems to be a bit much!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!? Thanks to all!!!

Alright..now I understand.<br /><br />It would appear either your starter needs to be replaced or your battery is low.<br /><br />The coil will not help with the engine turning over.<br /><br />Does the engine have a large Black or white box that the coil is mounted to?<br /><br />TMD
