Turn on your ignition without cranking. You should see three amps discharge on your dashboard ammeter. (This current reading will tell you everything voltage or resistance readings can tell you, and you obtain it EFFORTLESSLY and INSTANTLY every time you throw the switch!)So throw the switch and look for a three amp discharge. But I suspect you won"t see any discharge, since you are seeing the full six volts across the coil primary. This means (a) no current is flowing in the coil primary circuit, and (b) the fault is not between the battery and the coil connection where you are finding the voltage. Either the coil primary is open, the coil terminals are not making good contact, the points are not closing properly (check the distributor for bushing wear), the points are defective (yes, they can be bad right out of the box), the points are not installed properly, or the ground connection for the points is no good. Quote: "I Replaced Points, Condenser, Coil Ignition switch and the resister on the terminal block...Have worked on this issue for way to many hours and still have no spark." You have learned an important lesson in Kettering ignition repair. Blindly replacing things rarely produces results. You must spend a little time first running tests until you FIND the bad component!
