Ok so I have been trying to get this old truck running again so I can use it to move gravel. Got ti started yesterday and had it sitting there running just fine then it died and would not start again. Put new points in and it fired up and ran just fine for 15-30 minutes and then died. Just like it did the other day. Tried the new coil I have and still no run and weak if any spark but have spark at the point when I open them. I have not replaced the condenser and beginning the think it might have gone bad but never had one just go bad clear out fl the blue. I can open the points by turning the engine to that point and then use a screwdriver to short the points out and still little to no spark when I pull it back out. I have also tried hot wiring it and still little to no spark. So can a condenser just out of the clear blue go bad??
