Hi

Just bought a ;74 500 Giardiniera that has been unused for 3 years.

Stuck in a battery + petrol + cleaned the plugs + cap + rotar but no spark at both plug leads. There is spark at the points.

Engine turns over nicely.

Brake pedal is hard. So I assume the pads are stuck or?

Any ideas?

Car was in the country so had no spare leads.

Could it be faulty leads or?

Best place to get service parts + complete brake overhaul + car manual?

Many thanks

Check do you have current into ignition coil on + and - when you add contact from the key. Could be ignition coil problem, or spark cables...if the spark cables are bad you should see that at the dark.
 
I can't edit from the phone app. Brake needs to be hard, that means that hydraulics is ok. If you can't move the wheels, that means that braking cylinders are stuck. Also, you might have problems with master brake cylinder, when you put oil in it, rubber rings might be bad...so buy new brake comoponents, or refurbish the old ones. Brake hoses and pads too-buy new.
