Sorry for the confusion. With the cap removed, but with the wire connected to the coil, I touched my spark plug wire with test plug to the spring loaded post and got spark. Having determined that the spring loaded post wasn’t the culprit, I sat the rotor in place in the still uninstalled cap as it would be if the cap was installed rand got spark going through the rotor to the post, but when the cap and rotor are installed, there’s still spark at the coil wire/cap connection, but not at the plug wire terminals. It seems like there’s got to be a short somewhere.
