>Are you sure it's the coil, and that the points have not closed up, or a >bad wire from the coil, or a faulty capacitor? > >Stuart Must admit, it was kind of late, and once I determined that it was spark I went to sleep. here's the specifics of what i did. First there was nothing, no cranking, whatever. Pilled off a plug wire, put in thre brand new test plug. No spark. Pooped off cap and made sure things were spinning, and watched the points working, closing, sparking a little. Took center wire from coil, had wife turn it over, watched the arc between that and case. at about a inch it is pale. Cust for kicks I pluged #3 spark plug into the coil. turned it over for a second. I fired fine (suprising beacuse of the timing thing...). So went to bed, thinking that either all of my spark plugs suck or I need a new coil. I have new wires, new points, and new condensor. new cap, new rotor. I cleaned the plugs- they are old but in good chape. Could it be the condensor? What does that thing really do, anyay, just fir the coil? -rj
