Arrrgh....

I would take out the dist. and work with it until I got spark ON THE BENCH.

FIRST and VERY important, You can NOT have a spark WITHOUT a good "condenser" (capacitor) in a points dist. Do NOT assume that "new" is good. In an emergency, you can substitute the radio noise suppression cap that is normally hung on the positive terminal of the coil.

Lay out clip leads, test lamp, battery, coil, dist. and a plug/ plug wire

Hook the dist. wire to coil neg, battery ground to dist ground, and lay out a clip from battery to coil positive.

So to be crystal clear, you have:

battery neg -- dist ground -- dist wire -- coil neg -- coil pos -- battery positive

Hook the plug / plug wire to the coil, and "clip" the ground of the plug to the coil.

Don't leave it hooked to the battery only long enough to make checks.

First, hook the coil to battery, and hook your test lamp from battery neg. to coil neg. With the cap off, rotate the dist. to be sure the points are opening/ closing, and you should be able to observe this on the lamp.

If this is happening, and no spark, it just about has to be either the plug, the wire, the coil, or the condenser.

If the points are NOT making/ breaking, it could be the points --somehow bad insulator/ broken, shorted against the case at the wire entrance, use your head.

OR bad condenser.
