[AT] No spark

[John Wilkens]

Jeff, I'm wondering.....you said no spark at the points but you got zapped 
there with the screwdriver???  With a new coil and condenser, points 
properly installed and adjusted with power to them I would say it might be 
a problem with the coil wire or distributor cap.  Try connecting a plug 
wire in the center distributor terminal (coil wire terminal) with a clean 
grounded plug attached and see if you get a spark when you break contact at 
the points.   John W.
