We worked on it again last night. Put another new condenser and coil from Napa on it and as usual it started right up. We drove it about 50 feet and it died again. Pulled a plug and checked for spark and none. Turned key on again and checked voltage on the - side of the coil. 6.2 volts present. In my estimation, it has to be the cap, rotor or distributor. What else can it be?
