My A hasn't run for many years and wouldn't start. Thought distributor was shorted so decided to add new lower plate with long pigtail, new upper plate with points and condensor, new plugs, etc. I have no spark at the points. I do have voltage to tip of ignition cable but when I screw it into the distributor no volts go up to points. Can this be anything other than a short in the new upper or lower plate? I thought everything was clear and not grounded out.
Any help GREATLY appreciated.
