Yes I have a good automotive test light, and no spark at all. There isn't power getting to the points. I tried disconnecting the wires from the coil and checked, I still have no power on that side of the ballast that goes to the coil or on the wire that goes from the ballast to the coil. I was sure it was a bad ballast until I replaced it with another and have the same problem.

I'll try that next but it has power going into the ballast from the key so I'm not sure if that will do anything.
