Hi All,
        I'm in process of ressurecting my factory V-8 which has been setting 
for a few years (having a family can slow down the hobby a little apparently). 
I have the fuel system pretty well flushed out and fuel pump working again. A 
new battery and hopefully the brake system flushed.
        I have had no spark to the plugs since I started. I took the 
distributor off and did a general clean-up (filed points, cleaned contacts, 
reset gap etc.) as well as replaced a broken rotor, and put in a new condensor 
but still no spark. There does not appear to be spark at the points. I guess 
I'll start back tracking. Does anyone have a systematic approach that works 
well for them? How about a way to bench test the coil and/or condensor? 
        Any and all help will be appreciated. 

Thanks In Advance,
Alan Pfau and a V-8 waiting to be reacquainted for a few rides before winter.
