Tested the condenser and it’s good. Is there a way to test the coil? Or should I take out distro and replace points
Do you have a spare coil? Otherwise check primary resistance should be around 0.8 ohms and secondary resistance around 9 to 10 kohms.
Noted you were showing at previous post 6.1v at coil?
Did you check voltage at distributor this will be around 3.5v with the correct resistor in the circuit using an original coil. If its Skips coil chances of faulty are very slim. I sould go for a distributor swap.
