Default 1930 Model A Ford

I dont have any spark to the coil, think it is an wiring problem. Any advice with the wiring to the coil, connecter box and to the ampmeter. Thanks.

The problem could be the ignition switch . The best wiring diagram to follow is the one in Brattons catalog . I use to make my own wiring harnesses from purchased wire , I finally saw that the best and easiest way to go was the color coded harnesses that are sold by Bratton and others.

You don't have power to the coil, or you don't have spark to the distributor on the high tension lead?
