Re: no spark
When I was getting my a started up I ran into a no spark situation, new coil, new condenser, new battery, but still no spark, came down to tracing continuity and found that my points were not making up, had to take a file to them and it fired right up. If I was you I would check continuity starting from the points back with a multimeter, unhook the battery and disconnect the coil wire going to the switch and check and see if it's grounding with the points closed and then check with the points open, if it ground's with the point's open then take the plate off and disconnect the wire going to the points take the other plate out and put a piece of cardboard between the ignition wire coming into the distributor and the shafts to keep it from grounding and check continuity between the wire and the block, if it grounds it could be a bad wire from the switch to distributor, but keep checking on back to the coil to make sure it's not grounding out somewhere else, it might help and it might not, but it's what I done to find my probelm
