Mike V,
Thanks so much.
I think I have dome much of what you suggest.
Until last night when I broke the ignition switch ("mad face emoji"), it was working. When "on" there was voltage of 6 through out terminal block up to the open point arm. With point arm closed, it was grounded and voltage was "0).
I broke the starter switch because I decided to put new wires from dash to terminal block as well as terminal block to cut-out/starter. These wires looked pretty bad; frayed in places; barely attached in others.
So of course, I have no created a new problem (busted original style pop-out ignition switch). Or, I guess I can looked at it as a new opportunity to learn more about the car and have an additional project-pass the starter switch so I can con
Either way, couple of new questions:
How can I by-pass the ignition switch so I can continue to de-bug the "no spark" problem? The armored cable to the lower plate of the distributer seems welded on. I am afraid to bust something else in efforts to fix then "no spark"
Next; where can I get a good "pop-out" style ignition switch? This one seemed original (not that I can tell for sure). I have looked on line and most ignition switches I have found are not "pop-out" only "look alike".
Lastly; back to the "no spark". I guess I can replace the condenser but this also seems welded in place. Where should I get one of these??
Thanks so much for taking the time to offer the detailed reply/advice
