if you have a test light or a volt - ohm meter, try the following. disconnect the wire from the coil to the distributor. remove cap., rotor, and dust cover so you can see the points. hook the test lite to the hot side of the battery, neg if pos ground, pos if neg ground. then hook the other end of the test lite to the wire going to the distrib. turn the motor over by hand, watch the points, when they close the test lite should lite, when the points open, the lite should go off. if the lite is on all the time, something is grounding out, either the points or the wire is shorting out. if the lite doesnt lite at all, the points either are not closing or the contacts are bad. shine em up with 320 wet/dry sand paper. when you get the lite to go on and off withe the points openeing and closing. hook the wire back up to the coil. hook a spark plug up to the coil wire, lay it on the motor. turn ignition on, turn motor over so points open an close. you should get a spark at the plug. if not, try another condenser, if that doesnt help, change the coil. be sure you have power going to the coil. check everything again for corrosion, water got somewhere and prolly coroded a wire connection.
