So you get 12V to the coil but no spark... Is there anything coming out of the coil? You know, the big fat wire going to the distributor? If not, coil's dead. If you are getting energy out of the coil, is it coming out ANY of the spark plug leads? Easiest way to check is with inductive timing light. Each wire. If nothing, then the energy is getting lost somewhere in the distributor. Bad points/points adjustment, broken ground between the moving plates (little braided wire), etc. -Mark Fuhriman '69 Fastback ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
