Hi,

I was recently going to put an electronic ignition in my 544. I ended up having been sent the wrong kit by iPD, and after talking with them about it several times, we found out they don't make a kit to fit my distributor. I wanted to car running again, so I decided to just put the points back in. I did, and now I don't have spark. The condenser is new, and the gap is correct. I'm getting some voltage out of the coil, but only about one volt. I have hooked it up to an external coil though, and still didn't get spark at the points.

My dad claims the oil and amp light used to come on when the car's ignition was in the accessory position, but they don't any more. Not sure if this is related, but it seems it could be. So, what am I missing? I feel kind of idiotic for not being able to figure this out, but I'm sure there is something obvious I'm missing. Thanks in advance. -Ted
