I need some help with an old Dodge truck.

Still no spark.


I grabbed a old blaster 2 and hooked up a jumper 12V+ and atached the signal wire from the dist to coil -

Nothing.


The point gap was very wide so I reset it with a thin business card.

Strangely enough the condensor, rotor and points are new. The cap and wires are old.. (strange..)

12V to the starter and she cranks over nice. Now I just need fire.

What are your thought?

Im kinda at a loss as to why i dont have spark.

The rotor is turning so mechanically we are ok.

Points are "new" and adjusted.

Condenser is "new" but i have yet to replace it.


I just realised i have yet to check continuity in the plug or coil wires. So thats one possibility.

I was using large heavy gauge jumper cables to start. I cleaned a spot on the frame to bare steel and attached negative to that. Positive to the lug on starter and a "jumper wire" to hot up the coil.

Any idea where i am going wrong?
I been welding to long. Loosing touch with my mechanic roots i guess....

Thank you for your time and advice.


Spark plugs. Looking decent.


"New" condensor, rotor and points.
