I found I’m not getting spark and of course now it won’t start. I redid all the electrical last year and it worked great.

Going through the Les Andrews Voltage test I find I have 6V everywhere I should except the points when open. I measure 1.5-2V only.

Yes the switch is closed/on.

Right now I’m thinking switch problem, grounding out against the tank on the backside of the dash, or the armored cable.

I’m hoping it’s not the bottom plate, etc.

All these components were new last year and were working but something obviously either stopped or failed.

I did swap the condenser before running the voltage test and no change.

Any quick ideas of where to go first?
