Hal, Well ths is getting to me. I just spent another 90 minutes working with it. I get voltage to the new coil. In fact, it seems I get a pretty good spark when I run a wire across from positive to negative on the coil and just touch it.

I have an IH Blue Ribbon Manual on the electrical for the 340, 460, and 560. One of things it suggests is disconnecting the wires from the coil and connecting jumper cables from the battery and see if I get a spark from on to the other (I assume to see if the electricity runs through the coil). Well, I did get a spark, but not nearly the spark running a wire from the positive to negative of the coil with the wires connected. Really not much different than from the old coil when I tried it with it. Should I be getting more of spark? Is it possible (would seem unlikely) to get a faulty new coil and is there a way to test a coil.

I looked through wiring, disconnected connections and cleaned them, etc. and etc., but could not find a short. Now it could be hidden in wiring. No sign of short in the distributor. Obviously it has to be something.

Any further ideas? I know, it is hard diagnose from a distance but thanks for your help.

Larry
