Points are before my time not too sound stupid but if I ran a new test wire to + side of coil then a new connector too the - side of coil and tried a differnt coil and no spark then put a new condenser in the distribtor and I did check the wire inside the distribtor and yes it is brittle but not touching the side of distribtor I checked for power at the points there is power there but no spark coming out of coil wire what am I missing

well the brakes still need done i just steped out of the paint booth as i was painting my wheels and still trying to get the old girl fird up. it was froze up tight i got that taken care of. but i can not get this thing to put out a spark too save my life. jumped the coil condensor new hard wire to coil and then to the distribtor still notta its killing me. i have done every thing i can think of to get this thing to light ??????????

on the pedal it did say power, ohh and no no driving yet lol have the car in my paint booth up on stands and going to get it all freshed up.
