Be careful not to get your hand too close to the end of the HT lead as it might bite you.

meric42 just tried what you said and didn't get any spark. I had a weak trickle spark off of the distributor lead, and nothing at the HT coil wire lead.
I must have a broken wire somewhere I'll keep digging. I tried taking the ignition switch apart but that looks fine too.
Thank you for the advice.
Oh I also thought 'maybe' the 20AMP fuze was bad sometimes they burn out under the metal part and not that thin strip, I looked at that early on, tried another fuze, didn't make any difference. I checked continuity of both fuses and got 0.0 Ohms off of each of them. Thought maybe the replacement was a bad one. It was one I had laying in the tool box. I need to get to the Auto Parts store and buy some more anyway to have on hand. I use them in the Model A too.
