Wow.. front mount unit.. and you left ignition on.. while charging it. Considering the ignition can flow up 3-4 amps I imagine you gave the charger a workout. Probably boiled the tar and shorted the windings in the square coil, and burnt up the points / rubbing block.. etc. You may have even burnt up the ballast resistor.You will notice that there is ONLY 1 wire going to your front mount coil.. that's the wire that comes from the side of the resistor , from the ignition switch.. etc... yes.. primary wire. If it were me.. I'd get a new switch and ballast resistor ( optional.. if your on=ld one works ).. new points.. and check it.. if still nothing.. get a new coil... remember to gently stretch the coiled springy thing. Points gap is .015.. easy 2-bolt job to remove distrib. Also.. put that battery back on charge! Make sure you are charging correctly base don system polarity. oem was 6v positive ground.. etc. I vom or test lamp will be very helpfull in testing the circuit. You should have 2.5-3.5 volts at the top of the coil, with the points closed and the ignitionon... battery volts with points open. good luck.. and post back if you have questions.. Soundguy
