I have a 65 mustang with a 351W in it. My problem, is that I don't seem to have elec. going to or coming out of the coil. My set-up is a Crane HI6 ignition box, Crane coil and Petronix electronic ignition. I have traced wires and can't find any broken wires. Is there any way to check out the Petronix or the HI6? Please help

I would start out with getting power to the coil and work from there. If you have a wiring diagram it will help identify which wires to trace back to at least get power to the coil.I'm not sure but you should be able to check at the ignition switch. Did this happen all of a sudden or were you installing new components? Usually look at what you disturbed first. Hopefully someone else will jump in and help that's a little more familiar with this problem.
