Hi--
Thanks for all the responses. Where the wire attaches to the upper plate, I tried turning the lug and bending it up, but it didn't change anything. Still no spark at points. Here's what I meant by voltage being good at all places: 6v at pass side terminal box nut, 6v at driver side terminal box nut, 6v at pass side of coil, 6v at driver side of coil. But -- with key on and paper between points, no voltage on points arm and no spark when I open points with the paper removed. I had put in a new condenser and replaced it with another new one, but that didn't change anything.
