Had 0 Spark. One coil tested bad, replaced. works. Other cylinder: replaced capacitor as all else Ohms-tested correctly. No spark. Ohms tests I ran: coil lead to lead 1.5 Ohms
Coil lead to spark plug cable end 7.5K Ohms.
Points Closed 0.8 ohms after 1000 grit cleaning
Points Open 0.L
Is it possible that the coil is bad even though it tested like it did?
Thanks in advance

Usually if the coil tests good it's is.
The points and sandpaper: sandpaper usually works but sometimes the points need to be filed clean. Check the continuity.
The condensers might need changing.

thank you, Jerry. I put new condensers on already, but I will check the points again.
Thanks again

Well, I cleaned the points again with a points file... good idea. They look alot better. Bottom cylinder no spark. Swapped condensers still no spark on bottom cylinder. Swapped points. Gapped .020 still no spark on bottom. Checked continuity through plug wire to make sure end was on right. That checked out. Coil tests good but I think I'll order another one anyway... Let me know please if you have a better idea. Appreciate the input.

I haven't tried that yet, but I think it's all the way down to it has to be the coil... I think
