Checking a condensor for leakage involves high voltage in the range where if current isnīt kept low you get a shock that is a serious healt risk...
If you try and build one a current source in 1mA range is needed...>30mA is considered a risk to health !!

Checking a coil...old distributor with a known good condensor and a cordless drill for feeding the coil...an adjustable sparkgap to check output (clamp to hold the sparkwire and a grounded pointed bolt you can back off untill spark canīt jump).

And a hot air gun...for heating coils and condensors to working temp.

For checking points a low ohm meter...google for a schematic...or buy a cheap ESR/low ohm meter...
