David..... ..As I understand your information, your test light indicates that you are getting electricity at the frontmount coil terminal. Take the coil off and leave the terminal connected and see if your test light works on the underneath coil terminal. Light should light on both terminals, 1 bright, 1 very dim. If not, yeah, probably a bad coil.

My guess right now, is your points are not working, take your frontmount distributor off (2 bolts) and check the points gap.

There are a number of excellent 12 volt conversions web pages out there with pictures, just do a search. Also, check the "archives" at the top of this most excellent N-Board. Read and weep at the trials and tribulations of the electrically challanged.

Sorry, I can't tell you more specifically what is wrong with your 12 volt ignition conversion. I flunked mindreading, just ask my ex-wife..... ..Dell

David..... ..you report both bottom coil terminals "bright". I said that you should have 1 bright and 1 dim. Replace your coil..... ..Dell
