Re: Coil failure ?
yes - I pulled the high voltage wire out of the dist cap and held it close to one of the head nuts while cranking the engine with the ignition switch on - absolutely no spark. Also - after the first few seconds of cranking, the ammeter stops deflecting ‘normally’ each time the points open and close and starts swinging back and forth - showing discharge and charge- as if the coil is generating a back voltage - never seen this before. I suspect the coil has an internal short.
