>A big thanks to Joe Curry, Bob Sykes, and John Blair.
>I now have spark at the plugs!
>Since my plea for assistance, the car now has new plugs, points,
condenser, cap, rotor and proven good coil. I've set the timing using a
timing light while turning it on the starter.
>The major problem was indeed the hot lead to the distributor shorting to
ground. (Thanks John Blair for the "back to basics".).
>Next problem is to figure out why its still not starting. But its been 1-3
degrees C and I only have a carport, so I have high hopes for when the
weather warms up.
>Incidentally, the engine has run in the car, I have a copy of an emissions
test in June of this year. (Dramatic failure, but at least it ran).
