Working on a friend's tractor, I'm stumped by something that has to be utterly simple. New points/condenser installed in distributor. High voltage shoots out of the coil wire to frame just fine when
cranked over. But it's lost totally somewhere between there and the plugs. The plugs are new and correct, gaped correctly etc. The cap and rotor are new enough to show no wear on either and it was running
fine until it wasn't running at all. There are no visible problems with rotor or cap. The coil and plug wires appear in good condition and show minimal resistance on ohm meter. Coil wire definitely conducting OK. Somewhere between the hot end
of the coil wire and the plugs it's gone. Had good spark from plug wires, then nothing. What am I missing here in addition to my sanity??
