Re: No spark
Just a quick thought here. Check the ground side of the complete circuit. Good ground from battry to engine block, and to the chassis?

Re: No spark
I have one of the 3 distributors in my hand, Ford p/n 21a-12131-a2 a cast iron version. Looks good to me, points are set to .015 + or - a thou. Anything I can check with a meter to see if it’s at fault? No luck on google u for checking a crab distributor.

Re: No spark
After many parts, distributors, coils, capacitors and countless tips from a lot of people, it finally started and ran this afternoon. I must have got lucky with the right combination of parts so will swap in to verify what works. I am thinking it was a coil and fuel issue. Either way, another sleeping flathead has awoken. Thanks to all for the help.
