On 8/10 I started a post on setting up the distributor, and TDC using a Chevy distributor from Bubba. Well I tried starting it up but have spark to the points but nothing at the plugs or coil. The entire ignition system is new. Any ideas? I turned the motor over and did not see any spark at the points even though I could arc them and get a good spark!!!
