Howard and Dave,
If carbon wires don't spark, and everything else is new between the ignition and the distributor, the points are the next step. I'll pull the cap and look.
They would be closed whether on a flat or a bump, if that's the problem, is what I understand. But if they were closed all the time, wouldn't there be spark all the time? Never mind explaining. I'll check on what it's doing.
Photos seems to show it's ok. Points closed on a flat. Open on a bump.
