Your best bet is to get in there with a voltmeter and see where the juice is
and isn't going to. Don't have one? Get a 6v light bulb and a couple of
wires, then solder or tape them to the bulb.
Attach one wire to ground, and check all the terminals which should be "hot".
Then attach one wire to the "hot" terminal of the battery and check all the
terminals which should be ground. The light should light up for all good
connections. Enjoy!

Subject: [oletrucks] No spark!
Hello! My husband bought a 6v coil today. There is still no spark.
What could be wrong? We have no spark coming out of the coil. We
tried touching the wire that comes from the negative side of the coil
to where it connects to the terminal on the distributor as the engine
was cranking. Could it be bad wiring between the ignition and the
coil? We replaced the spark plugs and spark plug wires. Any ideas?
(Dumb question!) :)
