No spark

I haven't tried jumping the ballast resistor. I switched it out with a new one and one off my satellite that I knew worked, But I didnt jump it. Do I leave it plugged in and just connect a wire across or take it off? I'll get back to you tomorrow with the results.

Leave in the known good one in for now.
If you can get an assistant, watch the points as they crank to see if there's any spark at the points. The ballast resistor gets bypassed anyway by the igniton switch during cranking. Even if you do see a spark at the points, it could be a failed condenser.
In fact, if the condenser is failed the spark at the points will be too pronounced. When condenser is good, it's just a small spark at the points. A big spark means the energy which should be kicking the coil is jumping back and NOT building a field in the coil.
