Help! no spark at coil

TrailBeast said

Dangit Del, I was going to let that go since it runs now but NOOOO. :D
It could have been a bad reluctor, or out of adjustment and solved the problem with another distributor.
Or a bad connection at the pigtail I told him to verify that made connection when he swapped them.

Am I wrong?

He could easily have both problems, but the telling thing was talking about making a spark when grounding the coil NEG. With the key on and the box properly connected, the coils should already BE grounded, and then the comment about 'touching the box' to ground made a spark.

Thing is, guys, Model T's left the building some time ago. You have to pay attention to every detail about what you are doing. Have I ever made these mistakes? You bet your tail feathers.
