So I came out to the shed today. All the testing I did yesterday was in the evening and keep in mind it was 103 degrees today. No spark at all. Grounding the points, nothing from the coil. Came out to the shed this morning. It's in the upper 80s temp wise, nice morning. I was fixing to take the coil off to take it to the parts house and figured "what the heck" I'll try it one more time. Son of a gun fired right up. What gives? The only think I can think of is bad coil and/or condenser. As cheap as they both are I'm replacing them both. I have had an inkling thinking the coil was getting weak because at loads and after the car is hot it has been cutting out a bit.
