Spark? Pull the coil wire out of the dist cap. Use a piece of tape to hold the cap end about 1/8" away from the engine block. Next open the cap and use a thin screwdriver to gently open the points. This should make a nice fat spark jump at the wire. if the points are open already, use the tip of the driver to bridge the gap making and breaking the connection. If spark, go on, if none check the points connection to the wire goint to the coil, it could be grounded in the housing (common). Now lets check the initial timing to see if things are even close. To do this pull #1 (close to radiator) plug and rotate the engine (ignition off) till compression begins to blow out the plug hole. (put your thumb in it to be sure). then use a stiff 8" long copper wire in the hole to feel Top Dead Center wire moving up till it just stops)while turning the engine with the fan blades or hand crank, not the starter. At TDC the rotor must be pointing to the cap position of #1 cylinder. If it is not, make it so. JimN
