I have a ‘31 closed cab pickup. It stopped running and can’t get it to start. Cranks fine, fuel delivery seems ok, but there is no spark. Ammeter does not deflect when ignition turned on or when cranking. With ignition on I have 6 volts on both sides of the coil. When I place the high tension lead from the coil next to the block and manually open the points there is no spark. It’s a newer coil so I’m thinking it’s not that (but I guess it could be). Anyone have any ideas. Thanks.
