Still no spark

[Willynch]

update.

I checked the coil/condenser on bench top and get spark Also put the "spark polarity" tester in line and it indicated spark and correct polarity.

So I guess if ignition system works on bench; and every thing through starter up to points is working on car does this mean there is a short in the lower distributer body/plate?

Bill Williamson: screwing cord from ingnition swithc (or in my case, the by-pass of my broken ignition swith) in too deep can be an issue? Ill back it out a bit and try again.

Thanks
