thank,s 71 but new cap like i said new at this how do i check coil without
blowing up test light

Find someone you like but can do without as a friend. Have them hold the wire and crank it over. If it knocks them on their a$$ then you know that you have a cood coil. If they still want to be your friend then the coil is bad....
