No Spark

Howdy all,

Been a while since Ive been here, but got my old Amazon back!

Cars been sitting fora while, and I had to hook up a new ignition switch to it.
So that’s where I am now, trying to I get it back ion the road.

I am not getting any spark to the points now.

What I’ve done:

New ignition switch.

Ive got power to the coil, connected to the positive. Terminal. and I’ve got power coming out of the coil, out of the negative post on the coil and down to the distributor.

Ive got power to the distributor and to the points. I have power to the tip of the points.

(By. The way, I am using a test light to check for power to the points. )

When I try to start the car, I am not getting any spark at the plugs, and not even a spark at the points.

Ive tested the coil, it’s good.

Ive switched around the wires on the ignition switch, still no spark.

It ran when it was parked two years ago, and the only thing that has changed is the ignition switch.

What. Do you all think I should try next?

Thanks all.
Im glad to be back
Kent
