I'm currently getting no spark from my coil. Done a visual spark test from both distributor and coil and nothing. With the key on I'm getting 12v to + and - side of coil also with points open and closed or condenser wire completely removed. Somethings not adding up right, I've replaced the points and condenser and starter before this problem so they are all brand new. Bought a coil of eBay that was "tested good". But before I go buying more parts is there somewhere in the wiring I need to check first? TIA!
