Hey friend,
I have had similar issues, and I threw parts at the problem. The end result was new parts on an ignition system that still didn't work until.........I got the points correct.
I am not familiar with accuspark. But, if you have points, check the following:
1. Get new points
2. Just because they are new they still may not work. So, make sure they line up perfectly even if u have to bend them slightly.
3. With fine grit sand paper, go over the points contact surfaces.
4. Spend some time and set the gap correctly.
This is a highly frustrating problem, I understand. I am no master mechanic, just an individual who has several service manuals, likes to read, and spends time on this forum.......so take my advice with that in mind.
Above all, hang in there. You will get it.
