I've tried everything I can think of, but no spark to the distributor / plugs. New fully charged battery, new condenser, verified point and rotor gaps, filed points, checked continuity on all wiring, checked wiring diagram and all connections correct EXCEPT at the ammeter, where yellow is on left post and black tracer on right. The other way sent the needle positive when pop out switch turned on. Generator bench tested and producing more than 7 volts. Cut out switch new. New coil warms up if I leave the pop out switch on for very long. Starter rolls the engine over well....
I may have a short, but can't find one.
