you need to remove the armored cable from the distributor. Soak the connection with penetrating spray then apply heat to the area, wait to cool, soak the connection area apply heat to the area, wait to cool. try to remove.

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".

A lot of people (me included) have the look alike pop out switch. Originals rebuilt are available but you need to check with the guys that rebuild them Dick Crabtree 605-487-7229 comes to mind

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??

Any of the vendors should be able to get you the one that A and L has made.

Thanks so much for taking the time to offer the detailed reply/advice
