A tree limb snapped back while bushogging and broke the distributor cap. I have replaced the plugs, points condenser, coil, rotor, and dsitributor cap. I have power to the points, but no spark at the plugs. I did an ohm test on the coil wire and it had continuity. I do not know what else to try. Any suggestions?

nce upon a time, you had one problem keeping it from running......a distributor cap. BUT, once you 'touched' it, you touched 'plugs, points condenser, coil, rotor, and dsitributor cap.', i.e., 6 things......now you have 6 possibilities instead of one keeping it from running. More places to look, more fun! OK, so you have power to the points, but are the points switching current? Are they actually making & breaking the circuit? See sparks at contacts when they open & close?

agree with jmor.

put a test lamp inline with power wire to coil.. it should blink when turning over.

I am guessing side mount distributor right?? If yes did you buy a TSC parts and if yes good chance that is where the problem is or the point you have need to be cleaned. Many come with a coating on them to help keep them from corroding. You should be able to see a spark at the point when you open them by hand
