Looks like nothing is going thru my HT wire????
Could this new coil be bad?????
Unfortunately, unlike in the old days, a coil (or any part) being new doesn't necessarily mean it is good. Don't replace too many parts at one time or you may end up looking for multiple problems. I once helped a person start a Model A. It turned out his points were adjusted too wide and didn't close. Did you check the voltage on both sides of the points?
