Hi..If you are getting a spark from the coil then that gives us a better place to start trouble shooting. I'm assuming you are calling your mag a coil cause you said you had a mag. So, I'm assuming you have spark when you remove the central wire going into the distibutor and touch it close to ground while cranking the engine. That means your mag is working OK and for that to work your points and condensor are working also. (This further assumes you had a good strong spark) So you need to check things out "downstream". Look at the rotor, the 4 contact parts of the distributor cap. Also the contact button between the rotor and the mag wire. See if any plugs are getting a spark by taking each one out of the engine and ground the plug to the engine while turning the engine over and see if a spark jumps the gap. If not clean the plug up real good and try that check again. Or better yet try it with a know good spark plug. Summer weather plugs can easily get real fouled in cold weather,real fast in a little used Super A and it will seem like there is no spark when it's just fouled plugs. But the key is to isolate the different components and check them out. I doubt it's anything serious since it was running OK before it stopped. Once we know you have a good spark at the spark plugs we can focus on other possibe problems, like fuel. Pete
