Danny,

you may have had the switch in the ON position while playing the radio so
long, instead of in the accesories position.  If left in the ON position
for extended period, you likely fried the points and condensor.  I suggest
you replace the points, condensor, and rotor button.  See if you have fire
at the plugs then.

so Larry comes back over and finds there is no spark going to the plugs...
so he goes thru and thinks its the Coil... he thought the new alternator
probably burnt it out. So I visited my local pep boys , 30 bucks later I
put it in, jumped in and still the same thing.  He hasn't come over since I
put the coil in, but if its still not firing' I figure its still not
getting spark...
