Zachary Hoyt said: (quoted from post at 20:58:48 07/01/10) Thank you Janicholson for your help with my last post. I got a new cap for it as I had gotten rid of the old one a couple of months ago since i thought it might be cracked. I still had the old rotor since it seemed fine. I have tried every permutation of cap and rotor, I tried taking off all the plug wires from the cap except one, still no fire. I am getting good spark from the coil, though. I tried putting my hand on the cap, the coil cap, the wires and the body of the mag and did not get a shock anywhere while holding the starter button down I thought about what you said about the cap and rotor being out of alignment, but I haven't done anything that should have changed them. I tried not putting the rotor on quite all the way to see if that would bring it closer to the contacts, but that didn't help. The contact in both caps looks good, the rotors are complete with tab and everything looks okay. Is it possible to get the tab too close to the contacts in the caps? I will be very grateful for any advice anyone may have. I am at my wits end, not that that is very far away, but still.........

Zach,
Didn't you say in a previous post that you had filed the brand new points before installing them? If so, you may have ruined them, so I recommend a new set of points, don't file or stone them, (new ones shouldn't need that anyway), and gap them on .013. Beyond that, pull the mag out and completely rebuild it, all the internal small parts that is, as you already installed a new coil that you know is good. Include a new cap and rotor, condenser, the whole nine yards. And make sure you are being sold the correct stuff, i.e. the stuff for a mag, not a distributor, as they are different.
Keep us posted as to your progress, and good luck!
