attach your test light to the distributor side of the coil. If the points are opening and closing the light will flash on and of when you crank it over.
i just tried that and the light doesnt blink.i will reset the points tomorrow. thanks for the help so far
We had this happen to a buddy's car on the side of the road. Everything SEEMED to check out fine but no spark. Replaced EVERYTHING - check with a test light made from tail light bulb & everything checks out good, but NO SPARK at the plugs! TEST light checks out EVERYWHERE - still no spark. Skratch heads - finally............it's a BAD connection between the point contact plate and the distributor body. So basically we had POWER but no ground path. Worth a double check if you've run out of ideas.
Coil hooked up properly? + to hot - to distributor? If everything else checks out, points etc try a different coil.
