Hi guys, Sorry I havnt posted in awhile. been busy with the new job and working on my truck. So up to this point got new brakes all away around, New lines, new MC, the whole nine yards,running off the gas tank, Have the wiring almost done.. Few weeks ago with a help from one the great guys at the Ford car club, I got my truck running pretty good, How ever the points went out afew days after getting it running, So I ordered a new set of points. also new 6vlot coil, and plug wires.condenser.... I put everything on, Got the points gaped at the right place. I go to turn the motor over... No spark what so ever.. So I took a screw driver and just touched a part of the points and got spark.. but not when I open the points. Just not when the motor is turning over... Any ideals guys ??

P.S heres a short video..
