I have exactly the same problem. Weeks trying to sort it out: new everything. No spark from coil wire to distributor to negative at frame. obviously no sparks at the spark plugs. Not sure what else to look at in order to troubleshoot this issue

Ok mine the PO had everything wired up wrong on the coil. We also had to adjust the points and that got the spark we needed.

How do you wire at coil? Maybe I have the same problem. Do you have a picture by chance? Thanks
