ok, so ive been working on this boat someone gave me. 2.3l (ford) omc cobra. It was parked for 2 years without running. Ive changed the starter, the wiring harness, the ignition switch, plugs,points in distributor, distributor cap, and the coil. The motor is now turning over but im getting a very weak orange spark out of the high tension lead. Any ideas on diagnosing the issue? Im not the most mechanically inclined person so any suggestion would help! Thanks.

Could be as simple as a faulty coil wire.
